Slavish discipline makes a slavish temper... If severity carry'd to thehighest pitch does prevail, and works a cure upon the present unrulydistemper, it often brings in the room of it a worse and more dangerousdisease, by breaking the mind; and then, in the place of a disorderly youngfellow, you have a low spirited moap'd creature, who, however with hisunnatural sobriety he may please silly people, who commend tame unactivechildren, because they make no noise, nor give them any trouble; yet atlast, will probably prove as uncomfortable a thing to his friends, as hewill be all his life an useless thing to himself and others... Beating them,and all other sorts of slavish and corporal punishments, are not thediscipline fit to be used in the education of those we would have wise,good, and ingenuous men...John Locke, 1692
