Humanities Lecture
Aristotle was a little man with
eyes like a lizard, and he found a streak
down the midst of things, a smooth place for his feet
much more important than the carved handles
on the coffins of the great.
He said you should put your hand out
at the time and place of need:
strength matters little, he said,
nor even speed.
His pupil, a king's son, died
at an early age. That Aristotle spoke of him
it is impossible to find—the youth was
notorious, a conqueror, a kid with a gang,
but even this Aristotle didn't ever say.
Around the farthest forest and along
all the bed of the sea, Aristotle studied
immediate, local ways. Many of which
were wrong. So he studied poetry.
There, in pity and fear, he found Man.
Many thinkers today, who stand low and grin,
have little use for anger or power, its palace
or its prison—
but quite a bit for that little man
with eyes like a lizard.

Aristotle could have avoided the mistake of thinking that women have fewer teeth than men, by the simple device of asking Mrs. Aristotle to keep her mouth open while he counted.

Education is the best provision for the journey to old age.
For as the eyes of bats are to the blaze of day, so is the reason in our soul to the things which are by nature most evident of all.
The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.
Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.
If one way be better than another, that you may be sure is nature's way.
Different men seek after happiness in different ways and by different means, and so make for themselves different modes of life and forms of government.
Man is by nature a political animal.
