Σελίδα 26 - In forest, brake, or den, As beasts excel cold rocks and brambles rude ; Men, who their duties know, But know their rights, and, knowing, dare maintain, Prevent the long-aimed blow, And crush the tyrant while they rend the chain : These constitute a State, And sovereign Law, that State's collected will O'er thrones and globes elate, Sits Empress, crowning good, repressing ill.
Σελίδα 73 - Are you in earnest? seize this very minute — What you can do, or dream you can, begin it, Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it.
Σελίδα 68 - That man, I think, has had a liberal education who has been so trained in youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work that, as a mechanism, it is capable of; whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts of equal strength, and in smooth working order; ready, like a steam engine, to be turned to any kind of work, and spin the gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind...

Σελίδα 81 - Men, my brothers, men the workers, ever reaping something new ; That which they have done but earnest of the things that they shall do...
Σελίδα 35 - ... a government of all the people, for all the people, and by all the people prevails, and when it is rendered possible through universal education. Who would own real estate in Turkey? Who would accept a Russian estate, on condition that he must live on it and assume its responsibilities ? No one of us, I think.
Σελίδα 73 - ... and yet not bitter, so full of Death and so .bordering on Heaven. Can you understand anything of this ? If you can, you will begin to know what a serious matter our Life is ; how unworthy and stupid it is to trifle it away without heed ; what a wretched, insignificant, worthless creature any one comes to be, who does not as soon as possible bend his whole strength, as in stringing a stiff bow, to doing whatever task lies first before him.
Σελίδα 71 - ... that inbred loyalty unto Virtue which can serve her without a livery." He who possesses these qualities, united with strength of purpose, carries with him a power which is irresistible.
Σελίδα 215 - Duty of Sending Children to School" he insists that it is both the right and the duty of the state to enact laws compelling parents to send their children to school.
