"Por "república" he entendido constantemente no una democracia ni cualquier otra forma de gobierno, sino cualquier comunidad independiente," - John Locke

None of the things they learn, should ever be made a burthen to them, or impos's on them as a task. Whatever is so proposed, presently becomes irksome; the mind takes an aversion to it, though before it were a thing of delight or indifferency. Let a child but be ordered to whip his top at a certain time every day, whether he has or has not a mind to it; let this be but requir'd of him as a duty, wherein he must spend so many hours morning and afternoon, and see whether he will not soon be weary of any play at this rate. Is it not so with grown men?

since it would always be a sin, in any man of estate, to let his brother perish
for want of affording him relief out of his plenty.

He that uses his words loosely and unsteadily will either not be minded or not understood.
