Quote by Mary Wortley Montagu
We are educated in the grossest ignorance, and no art omitted to stifle our natural reason; if some few get above their nurses instructions, our knowledge must rest concealed and be as useless to the world as gold in the mine.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that education often fails to nurture our innate intelligence and critical thinking skills. Instead, efforts are made to suppress our natural ability to reason. Even if a few manage to surpass their initial education, they are often compelled to keep their knowledge hidden, rendering it useless to society. The quote emphasizes the potential wasted by our education systems and the importance of unleashing and sharing one's acquired knowledge for the betterment of the world.
