Proper Ideal

Famous quotes containing the words proper and/or ideal:

    “Religion is by no means a proper subject of conversation in mixed company; it should only be treated among a very few people of learning, for mutual instruction. It is too awful and respectable a subject to become a familiar one.”
    —Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    “The republic, as I at least understand it, means association, of which liberty is only an element, a necessary antecedent. It means association, a new philosophy of life, a divine Ideal that shall move the world, the only means of regeneration vouchsafed to the human race.”
