The Average Educated Man In America Has About As Much Knowledge Of What A Political Idea Is As He Has Of The Principles Of Counterpoint. Each Is A Thing Used In Politics Or Music Which Those Fellows Who Practice Politics Or Music Manipulate Somehow. Show Him One And He Will Deny That It Is Politics At All. It Must Be Corrupt Or He Will Not Recognize It. He Has Only Seen Dried Figs. He Has Only Thought Dried Thoughts. A Live Thought Or A Real Idea Is Against The Rules Of His Mind.

Inspired Teachers ... Cannot Be Ordered By The Gross From The Factory. They Must Be Discovered One By One, And Brought Home From The Woods And Swamps Like Orchids. They Must Be Placed In A Conservatory, Not In A Carpenter Shop; And They Must Be Honored And Trusted.

The World Values The Seer Above All Men, And Has Always Done So. Nay, It Values All Men In Proportion As They Partake Of The Character Of Seers. You Love Them Because You Say, These Things Were Not Made, They Were Seen.
