There are three possible parts to a date, of which at least two must be offered: entertainment, food, and affection. it is customary to begin a series of dates with a great deal of entertainment, a moderate amount of food, and the merest suggestion of affection. as the amount of affection increases, the entertainment can be reduced proportionately. when the affection is the entertainment, we no longer call it dating. under no circumstances can the food be omitted.

The aim of education is to develop resources in the child that will contribute to his well-being as long as life endures; to develop power of self-mastery that he may never be a slave to indulgence or other weaknesses, to develop [strong] manhood, beautiful womanhood that in every child and every youth may be found at least the promise of a friend, a companion, one who later may be fit for husband or wife, an exemplary father or a loving intelligent mother, one who can face life with courage, meet disaster with fortitude, and face death without fear.

When you go into a fast food restaurant, you may just think about how good your meal tastes while you're eating it. but you're not thinking about all the consequences that come from that one purchase - the consequences for your body, the consequences for supporting this company and how it's treating it workers, all the way back to the farm where the potatoes were grown, or the ranch where the cattle were raised.
