Let's go dance under the elms: Step lively, young lassies. Let's go dance under the elms: Gallants, take up your pipes. - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

To be something, to be himself, and always at one with himself, a man must act as he speaks, must know what course he ought to take, and must follow that course with vigour and persistence.

There is, I feel, an age at which an individual man would want to stop. You will seek the age at which you would want your species to have stopped. Dissatisfied with your present state for reasons that portend even greater grounds for dissatisfaction for your unhappy posterity, perhaps you would like to be able to go backwards in time.

تَعَلَّم ما أمرك الله أن تكون، وتَعَلَّم الناحية الإنسانية التي أنت فيها.
