Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of education in preserving and safeguarding a civilization. While an army may protect a country from external threats, true defense against the erosion of a civilization's values, ideals, and progress lies in education. Education nurtures critical thinking, promotes understanding, and cultivates the knowledge and skills necessary for a society to flourish. By investing in education, a civilization not only builds a strong foundation for its future, but also equips its members with the tools to defend and preserve the essence of their shared culture and heritage.
