“There can be, therefore, no true education without moral culture, and no true moral culture without Christianity. The very power of the teacher in the school-room is either moral or it is a degrading force. But he can show the child no other moral basis for it than the Bible. Hence my argument is as perfect as clear. The teacher must be Christian. But the American Commonwealth has promised to have no religious character. Then it cannot be teacher.” ChildrenCharacterShowsSchoolChristianCultureForceReligiousPerfectRoomsEducationMoralChristianityClearTeacherArgumentBasesCommonwealthDegradingTrue Education Author:Robert Dabney
“In my view, Jan Masaryk was thoroughly corrupt, who bumped himself off because he saw at last where his moral cowardice and ideological 'Playboyery' had led him. I vividly remember visiting him in Washington, fat, slightly tight, coming into the room looking like a broken-down butler with his master, the little Communist, Clementis, - and saying in a loud voice: 'Has anyone seen an Iron Curtain? I haven't.' Well, he has now.” WellsLittlesLastsRememberVoiceRoomsViewsMoralSawsHavensMastersBrokenLateNewsSuicideFatsLoudIronCommunistCowardiceCurtainsIdeologicalVisitingButlersBroken DownLoud VoicesIron Curtain Author:Malcolm Muggeridge
“I was highly aware, in writing [the book] ROOM, that there are unsavoury aspects to our interest in such cases, and I thought it was rather honester to include discussion of media representation in the novel itself than to cling to the high moral ground by merely avoiding scenes of voyeurism, for instance.” WritingBookInterestRoomsMoralCasesNovelMediaSceneAspectInstanceDiscussionRepresentationAvoiding Author:Emma Donoghue
“Is it not manifest that our academic institutions should have a wider scope; that they should not be timid and keep the ruts of the last generation, but that wise men thinking for themselves and heartily seeking the good of mankind, and counting the cost of innovation, should dare to arouse the young to a just and heroic life; that the moral nature should be addressed in the school-room, and children should be treated as the high-born candidates of truth and virtue?” ThinkingMenShouldChildrenSchoolLastsYoungBornRoomsEducationMoralVirtueWiseGenerationsMankindMoralityCostShould HaveInnovationInstitutionsSeekingDareTreatedCandidatesManifestHeroicAcademicScopeCountingRutsCounting The Cost Book:The Selected Lectures of Ralph Waldo Emerson Source: The Selected Lectures of Ralph Waldo Emerson
