“He who receives an idea from me, receives
 instruction himself without lessening mine; as he
 who lights his taper at mine, receives light without
 darkening me.

 That ideas should freely spread from one to
 another over the globe, for the moral and mutual
 instruction of man, and improvement of his
 condition...”                 Thomas Jefferson
