“Children belong in families, which, ideally, serve as a sanctuary and a cushion from the world at large. Parents belong to society and are a part of that greater world. Sometimes parents are a channel to the larger society, sometimes they are a shield from it. Ideally they act as filters, guiding their children and teaching them to avoid the tempting trash.”

And feats of war defeats
With plain heroic magnitude of mind

The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”
