As true courage is allied to temperance, so there must be an education which shall train mankind to resist pleasure as well as to endure pain.

No one can be on his guard against that of which he has no experience.

The perfectly trained citizen should have been accustomed to look his enemy in the face, and to measure his strength against her.

This education in pleasure is to be given, partly by festive intercourse, but chiefly by the song and dance.
Youth are to learn music and gymnastics; their elders are to be trained and tested at drinking parties.

According to the old proverb, in vino veritas, they will then be open and visible to the world in their true characters; and also they will be more amenable to the laws, and more easily moulded by the hand of the legislator.
