157. "A country that dwarfs its people will find that with diminished people no great thing can be done." |

Title is paraphrased. Actual quote is:
"A State which dwarfs its men, in order that they may be more docile instruments in its hands even for beneficial purposes -- will find that with small men no great thing can really be accomplished." John Stuart Mill
