Anonymous Quotes

The First Thing To Consider Is Education. This Is Divided Into Two Parts, Music And Gymnastics. Each Has A Wider Meaning Than At Present: 'music' Means Everything That Is In The Province Of The Muses, And 'gymnastics' Means Everything Concerned With Physical Training And Fitness. 'Music' Is Almost As Wide As What We Should Call 'culture', And 'gymnastics' Is Somewhat Wider Than What We Call 'athletics'. Culture Is To Be Devoted To Making Men Gentlemen, In The Sense Which, Largely Owing To Plato, Is Familiar In England. The Athens Of His Day Was, In One Respect, Analogous To England In The Nineteenth Century: There Was In Each An Aristocracy Enjoying Wealth And Social Prestige, But Having No Monopoly Of Political Power; And In Each The Aristocracy Had To Secure As Much Power As It Could By Means Of Impressive Behaviour.
