It is important to remember Frederick

education is important.

“If there is no struggle, there is no
progress. Those who profess to favor
freedom, and yet depreciate agitation,
are men who want crops without
plowing up the ground. They want rain
without thunder and lightning. They
want the ocean without the awful roar
of its many waters. This struggle may
be a moral one; or it may be a physical
one; or it may be both moral and
physical; but it must be a struggle.”
