“a notable prince that was called King John;
And he ruled England with main and with might,
For he did great wrong, and maintained little right.”

“Plato—who may have understood better what forms the mind of man than do some of our contemporaries who want their children exposed only to “real” people and everyday events—knew what intellectual experience made for true humanity.
