...women will be too busy, too much occupied with exploration into fields hitherto beyond even imagination, to tolerate the existence of--much less to support by their labor--any detached, privileged class of "Thinkers". The aim of education all along the line, and unceasing from the cradle to the grave, will be to train Thinkers who Do; Doers who Think. The two kinds of activity cannot be separated without disaster. The Thinker who knows nothing of Doing is no guide for anyone; the Doer who has not learned to Think is no safer. The fact is that only through Doing...
...Wilson was devoured by the desire for power. If he had been a soldier and a man of fighting temperament, the Government of the United States would have been in grave danger.

If a child, has a dirty face you do not kill it: you wash...
Broadway has killed Mr. Arlen. With gracile gestures bred of histrionic worth the great Cornell, the capable Maude escort his trivial body to the grave of failure. His gay parade was tinsel which the lights of critical Manhattan tarnished and destroyed. Careless and floodingly he wrote; careless they killed him. And now but for the pleasant pageant of their mockery of a funeral, they are quite willing to inspect his successor. Why did he live? Why did he die? He lived because there is even in the most sophisticated heart the occasional warmth of the chambermaid's love...
