"We teach boys to be such men as we are...We do not give them a training as if we believed in their noble nature...We exercise their understandings to the apprehension and comparison of some facts, to a skill in numbers, in words; we aim to make accountants, attorneys, engineers; but not to make able, earnest, great-hearted men."
I value the things Emerson says as long as I don't think too much about how he treated his wife.
