“I couldnt afford to learn it, said the Mock Turtle with a sigh. I only took the regular course.

“Our age is pre-eminently the age of sympathy, as the eighteenth century was the age of reason. Our ideal men and women are they, whose sympathies have had the widest culture, whose aims do not end with self, whose philanthropy, though centrifugal, reaches around the globe.”

“Like a tale of little meaning though the words are strong;
Chanted from an ill-used race of men that cleave the soil,

Storing yearly little dues of wheat, and wine and oil;
Till they perish and they suffersome, tis
whispereddown in hell”
—Alfred Tennyson (18091892)
