    “The democratic youth ... lives along day by day, gratifying the desire that occurs to him, at one time drinking and listening to the flute, at another downing water and reducing, now practising gymnastic, and again idling and neglecting everything; and sometimes spending his time as though he were occupied in philosophy.”
    —Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

    “Let him front the object of his worst apprehension, and his stoutness will commonly make his fear groundless.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
