"But neither Madison nor the other Founders meant that we should presuppose that America could prosper without anyone having any good motives. Such motives are manifestations of good character, and America's Founders did not suppose that freedom can thrive, or even survive, without appropriate education and other nourishments of character. They meant education, broadly understood to include not just education by schools but also by all the institutions of civil society that explain freedom and equip citizens with the virtues freedom requires. These virtues include industriousness, self-control, moderation, and responsibility, virtues that reinforce the rationality essential to human happiness." - George Will
