    Paperback (Forgotten Books, July 6, 2012)
    There is one mind common to all individual men. Every man is an inlet to the same, and to all of the same. He that is once admitted to the right of reason is made a freeman of the whole estate. What Plato has thought, he may think ;what a saint has felt, he may feel ;what at any time has befallen any man, he can understand. When a thought of Plato becomes a thought to me, when a truth that fired the soul of Pindar fires mine, time is no more. Emerson. While it is good to walk among the living, it is good also to live with the wise, great, good dead. It keeps out of life the dreadful feeling of extemporaneousness with its conceit and its despair. It makes us always know that God made other men before He made us.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.

  • Stories From Plato and Other Classic Writers: Homer, Hesoid, Aristophanes, Ovid, Pliny Classics for Children

    Paperback (Forgotten Books, June 8, 2017)
    Excerpt from Stories From Plato and Other Classic Writers: Homer, Hesoid, Aristophanes, Ovid, Pliny Classics for ChildrenTwo years ago I was asked by the Kindergarten Association of Chicago to read several papers at their Institutes on the adaptation of stories from classic sources to kindergartens. Leaders among kindergarteners had long before agreed that literature manufactured merely for commercial speculation had not vitality enough to meet the needs of the child. They had themselves resorted to Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, as a relief from the wearisomeness of the reading-matter of reading-books. I took the ground that teachers would derive more pleasure in their work if they were allowed a sweeping use of literature in their schools, each teacher detaching from classic or standard writings such hints and suggestions as she could use to the best advantage. I read about fifty stories which I had gleaned from Plato, Homer, Hesiod, Aristophanes, Pliny, Ovid, and other classic sources as illustrations of the material which teachers might select from the original writings.These stories I had found useful in previous school work, because they contained fine moral points, or else because they were poetic statements of natural phenomena which might enhance the study of natural science.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
