The cure-alls of the present day are infinitely various and infinitely obliging. applied psychology, autosuggestion, and royal roads to learning or to wealth are urged upon us by kindly, if not altogether disinterested, reformers. simple and easy systems for the dissolution of discord and strife; simple and easy systems for the development of personality and power. booklets of counsel on 'how to get what we want,' which is impossible; booklets on 'visualization,' warranted to make us want what we get, which is ignoble.

More From Agnes Repplier

I wish to preach not the doctrine of ignoble ease but the doctrine of the strenuous life; the life of toil and effort; of labour and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes not to the man who desires mere easy peace but to the man who does not shrink from danger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who out of these wins the splendid ultimate triumph. a life of ignoble ease, a life of that peace which springs merely from lack either of desire or of power to strive after great things, is as little worthy of a nation as of an individual.

Will this massive outcry [about pollution] continue long enough to have effective results? will federal and state laws be enacted with effective enforcement clauses? will people be concerned long enough to pay the bill through higher prices? will towns tole lost jobs when it proves too costly to clean obsolete plants?... i think so, but it sure won't be as easy as the present outcry and political oratory suggest. the answers to preserving a livable environment are not all simple, and some of the nuts now pushing simplistic cure-alls won't help bring about any lasting solutions.

Obviously astrology has much to offer psychology, but what the latter can offer its elder sister is less evident. so far as i judge, it would seem to me advantageous for astrology to take the existence of psychology into account, above all the psychology of the personality and of the unconscious.

Any psychology of sign systems will be part of social psychology - that is to say, will be exclusively social; it will involve the same psychology as is applicable in the case of languages.

Cruel men believe in a cruel god and use their belief to excuse their cruelty. only kindly men believe in a kindly god, and they would be kindly in any case.

No man is so foolish but may give another good counsel sometimes; and no man is so wise, but may easily err, if he will take no others counsel but his own. but very few men are wise by their own counsel; or learned by their own teaching. for he that was only taught by himself had a fool to his master.

I would have the studies elective. scholarship is to be created not by compulsion, but by awakening a pure interest in knowledge. the wise instructor accomplishes this by opening to his pupils precisely the attractions the study has for himself. the marking is a system for schools, not for the college; for boys, not for men; and it is an ungracious work to put on a professor.
