Aristotle

“Human beings imitate what they honor. And what they honor depends largely upon what they see rewarded around them.”

“A polis cannot merely preach virtue. It must make virtue visible.”

“And community.”

“The first mistake modern societies make is assuming that schools alone can carry the entire burden. A child requires not one institution, but an ecosystem.”

“Children must see adulthood embodied.”

“Honor must become visible locally.”

“Technology must strengthen community rather than dissolve it.”

“The city itself must become educational again.”

“Whether it enlarges citizenship — or merely efficiency.”
