The family is good, and good is the joy of the man in wife and in son.

But greater is the State, which is the protector of all, without which the home would be ravaged and destroyed.

Dear to the good man is the honor of the woman who bore him, dear the honor of the wife whose children cling to his knees; but dearer should be the honor of the State that keeps safe the wife and the child.

It is the State from which comes all that makes your life prosperous, and gives you beauty and safety.

Within the State are built up the arts, which make the difference between the barbarian and the man.
