Henry Adams Quotes

The Habit Of Looking At Life As A Social Relation - An Affair Of Society - Did No Good. It Cultivated A Weakness Which Needed No Cultivation. If It Had Helped To Make Men Of The World, Or Give The Manners And Instincts Of Any Profession - Such As Temper, Patience, Courtesy, Or A Faculty Of Profiting By The Social Defects Of Opponents - It Would Have Been Education Better Worth Having Than Mathematics Or Languages; But So Far As It Helped To Make Anything, It Helped Only To Make The College Standard Permanent Through Life.
