A government for protecting business only is but a carcass, and soon falls by its own corruption and decay.

“To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but to so love wisdom as to live according to its dictates a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.” - Thoreau

...When Louisa May Alcott was a child, her father Bronson asked her to define what a philosopher was. She replied, tongue in cheek: “a man up in a balloon with his family at the strings tugging to pull him down.”

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence. He inspires self-trust. A noble artist, he has visions of excellence and revelations of beauty. His life and teachings are but studies for yet nobler ideals. ~A. Bronson Alcott #WorldPoetryDay
