Side 16 - Those activities which have for their end the rearing and discipline of offspring ; 4. Those activities which are involved in the maintenance of proper social and political relations ; 5. Those- miscellaneous activities which make up the leisure part of life, devoted to the gratification of the tastes and feelings.
Side 3 - ... here, and audience there, when all the while this eternal court is open to you, with its society, wide as the world, multitudinous as its days, — the chosen and the mighty of every place and time...
Side 15 - In what way to treat the body; in what way to treat the mind; in what way to manage our affairs ; in what way to bring up a family ; in what way to behave as a citizen; in what way to utilize all those sources of happiness which nature supplies — how to use all our faculties to the greatest advantage of ourselves and others...

Not only is a considerable development of them impossible without a long-established social union, but their very subject-matter consists in great...
Side 47 - The belief, not only of the socialists but also of those so-called Liberals who are diligently preparing the way for them, is that by due skill an illworking humanity may be framed into well-working institutions. It is a delusion. The defective natures of citizens will show themselves in the bad acting of whatever social structure they are arranged into. There is no political alchemy by which you can get golden conduct out of leaden instincts.

Side 15 - To prepare us for complete living is the function which education has to discharge; and the only rational mode of judging of an educational course, is to judge in what degree it discharges such function.
Side 32 - And as the ability of a nation to hold its own against other nations depends on the skilled activity of its units, we see that on such knowledge may turn the national fate.
