But our State, while she remains true to her principles, will be in very deed the mightiest of Hellenic states.
To the size of the state there is no limit but the necessity of unity; it must be neither too large nor too small to be one.

This is a matter of secondary importance, like the principle of transposition which was intimated in the parable of the earthborn men.

The meaning there implied was that every man should do that for which he was fitted, and be at one with himself, and then the whole city would be united.

But all these things are secondary, if education, which is the great matter, be duly regarded.

When the wheel has once been set in motion, the speed is always increasing; and each generation improves upon the preceding, both in physical and moral qualities.
