Halaman 106 - ... who, no stunted ascetic, is full of life and fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience ; who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself. Such an one and no other, I conceive, has had a liberal education ; for he is, as completely as a man can be, in harmony with Nature.
Halaman 106 - ... 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...
Halaman 106 - 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...
Halaman 109 - Who has not noticed in children, overstimulated by spices and excesses of food, appetites of a very low order, from which they can never again be freed — appetites which, even when they seem to have been suppressed, only slumber, and in times of opportunity return with greater power, threatening to rob man of all his dignity and to force him away from his duty.

Halaman 78 - There were seventy-eight girls from six to sixteen years old, who spend two hours in the morning and two hours in the afternoon in work.
Halaman 90 - idiots have been improved, educated, and even cured ; not one in a thousand has been entirely refractory to treatment; not one in a hundred who has not been made more happy and healthy ; more than thirty per cent, have been taught to conform to social and moral law, and rendered capable of order, of good feeling and of working like the third of...
Halaman 13 - Now there comes into play a principle just the reverse of that above described. Throughout the rest of its life, each adult gets benefit in proportion to merit — reward in proportion to desert: merit and desert in each case being understood as ability to fulfil all the requirements of life — to get food, to secure shelter, to escape enemies.
Halaman 13 - It favours the multiplication of those worst fitted for existence, and, by consequence, hinders the multiplication of those best fitted for existence — leaving, as it does, less room for them. It tends to fill the world with those to whom life will bring most pain, and tends to keep out of it those to whom life will bring most pleasure. It inflicts positive misery, and prevents positive happiness.
