About This Quote
An educated, healthy & confident nation is harder to govern. When a nation has a well qualified and healthy population, the government will have a hard time governing. This is because they have to do more of the work themselves. They have to be energetic and alert since there is no one else to do the work for them. In this case, the government's work will be easier and faster.
