Playtime, Self, Virtue

Today's young children are controlled by the expectations, schedules,
whims, and rules of adults. Play is the only time they can take
control of their world.
~ Sheila G. Flaxman

Friendship with oneself is all-important, because without it one
cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.
~ Eleanor Roosevelt

I do nothing but go about persuading you all, old and young alike, not
to take thought for your persons or your properties, but and chiefly
to care about the greatest improvement of the soul. I tell you that
virtue is not given by money, but that from virtue comes money and
every other good of man, public as well as private. This is my
teaching, and if this is the doctrine which corrupts the youth, I am a
mischievous person.
~ Socrates
