Quote by William Hazlitt
Anyone who has passed though the regular gradations of a classical education, and is not made a fool by it, may consider himself as having had a very narrow escape.
Summary
This quote suggests that a traditional classical education has the potential to trap individuals in a narrow mindset, limiting their perspective and critical thinking abilities. It implies that those who have gone through such education and have not been negatively influenced or confined by it should feel fortunate, as they may have avoided intellectual confinement and retained their ability to think independently.
