* In modern times there are opposing views about the practice of education. There is no general agreement about what the young should learn either in relation to virtue or in relation to the best life; nor is it clear whether their education ought to be directed more towards the intellect than towards the character of the soul.... And it is not certain whether training should be directed at things useful in life, or at those conducive to virtue, or at non-essentials.... And there is no agreement as to what in fact does tend towards virtue. Men do not all prize most highly the same virtue, so naturally they differ also about the proper training for it. (unsourced)

But yield who will to their separation,<br>
My object in living is to unite<br>
My avocation and my vocation<br>
As my two eyes make one in sight.<br>
Only where love and need are one,<br>
And the work is play for mortal stakes,<br>
Is the deed ever really done<br>
For Heaven and the future's sakes.
