“How did the frontier colony of Virginia produce, in one generation, George Washington, George Mason, Patrick Henry, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and George Wythe? At a time when their coadjutors included Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, and Alexander Hamilton? The historian reminds us that the clichés are insufficient explanation: great challenges draw forth great talents; (or) the best talents have nowhere else to go, to serve, in such days. But does he find part of the answer in the Founders’ education? They were soaked in the history of Rome and Greece, and they studied Greek and Latin. They knew their Bible; they were children of the political philosophers of the Enlightenment. They had for the most part no degrees, as they had, for the most part, no university education. Yet they thought more clearly, considered more self-reliantly, wrote more accurately and eloquently, than we.”

J. Bunting III

Comment Rules:

Remember what Fonzie was like? Cool. That's how we're gonna be -- cool. Critical is fine, but if you're rude or preachy, we'll delete your stuff. Please do not put your URL in the comment text and please use your PERSONAL name or initials and not your business name, as the latter comes off like spam. Have fun and thanks for adding to the conversation! (Thanks to Tim Ferris & Brian Oberkirch for the inspiration)
