Riassunto

Excerpt from Of Educational Development: A Discourse Delivered Before the Literary Societies of the University of Michigan, on Monday Evening, June 25, 1855

To think without speaking, would seem an impossibility; to Speak to ourself alone, an absurdity. To gain knowledge to rest forever with ourself, would be like making one's bed forever on a golden rock. To plan and propose any improve ment by art and industry to be shared by 110 one, would be action without an end - the building of ships without com merce, and cities without inhabitants, the sowing of fields never to be reaped, the moulding of beautiful forms with none to admire them, the singing of epics and no hearts to be moved upon. And thought itself would claim the critical Judgment, the aid, and inspiration of other thought; and the hand of industry seek to link itself with the strength and skill of some other hand.

Is not society then all and in all to us? Do we not live by society - think, labor, improve and enjoy by society? To be alone is next to negation of being: to be associated is the life, power and completeness of being.
