The Present In New York

Inspired Teachers ... Cannot Be Ordered By The Gross From The Factory. They Must Be Discovered One By One, And Brought Home From The Woods And Swamps Like Orchids. They Must Be Placed In A Conservatory, Not In A Carpenter Shop; And They Must Be Honored And Trusted.

The Reason For The Slow Progress Of The World Seems To Lie In A Single Fact. Every Man Is Born Under The Yoke, And Grows Up Beneath The Oppressions Of His Age.

Politics Is Organized Hatred, That Is Unity.

Learning Is Not Easy, But Hard; Culture Is Severe. The Steps To Parnassus Are Steep And Terribly Arduous.

The Short Lesson That Comes Out Of Long Experience In Political Agitation Is Something Like This: All The Motive Power In All Of These Movements Is The Instinct Of Religious Feeling. All The Obstruction Comes From Attempting To Rely On Anything Else. Conciliation Is The Enemy.
