Summary

This quote emphasizes the role and significance of family in relation to freedom. It suggests that the family is a true reflection of individual freedom since it is not imposed upon or predetermined by society or external forces. Instead, it is a deliberate and personal choice made by a free individual, as they actively create and develop their own family. This highlights the idea that freedom extends beyond an individual's actions and decisions in society, extending into the realm of personal relationships and the formation of a family unit.

Our brains contain one hundred billion nerve cells (neurons)

Our brains contain one hundred billion nerve cells (neurons). Each neuron makes links with ten thousand other neurons to form an incredible three dimensional grid. This grid therefore contains a thousand trillion connections - that's 1,000,000,000,000,000 (a quadrillion). It's hard to imagine this, so let's visualise each connection as a disc that's 1mm thick. Stack up the quadrillion discs on top of each other and they will reach the sun (which is ninety-three million miles from the earth) and back, three times over.

I think our governments will remain virtuous for many centuries; as long as they are chiefly agricultural; and this will be as long as there shall be vacant lands in any part of America. When they get piled upon one another in large cities, as in Europe, they will become corrupt as in Europe.
