“Politics and Philosophy” by Plutarch 46-120 AD

They are wrong who think that politics is like an ocean voyage or a

military campaign, something to be done with some particular end

inview, something which leaves off as soon as that end is reached.

It is not a public chore, to be got over with. It is a way of life. It is

the life of a domesticated political and social creature who is born

with a love for public life, with a desire for honor, with a feeling

for his fellows; and it lasts as long as need be.

It is not simply office holding, not just keeping your place, not justraising your voice from the floor, not just ranting on the rostrum with speeches and motions; which is what many people think

politics is; just as they think of course you are a philosopher if you sit in a chair and lecture, or if you are able to carry through a

dispute over a book. The even and consistent, day in day out, work

and practice of both politics and philosophy escape them.

Politics and philosophy are alike. Socrates neither set out benches

for his students, nor sat on a platform, nor set hours for his

lectures. He was philosophizing all the time — while he was

joking, while he was drinking, while he was soldiering, whenever he met you on the street, and in the end when he was in prison and

drinking the poison. He was the first to show that all your life, all the time, in everything you do, whatever you are doing, is the time

for philosophy. And so also it is of politics.

“Because You Have Lived,” by Ralph Waldo Emerson

To laugh often and much; To win the respect of intelligent people and

the affection of children; To earn the appreciation of honest critics and

endure the betrayal of false friends; To appreciate beauty, to find thebest in others; To leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy

child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; To know even

one life has breathed easier because you have lived.

This is to have succeeded.

“Eternal Father,” by William Whiting, 1860

Eternal Father, strong to save,

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,

Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep;

Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,

For those in peril on the sea!

Oh, Watchful Father who dost keep

Eternal vigil while we sleep

Guide those who navigate on high

Who through grave unknown perils fly,Receive our oft-repeated prayer

For those in peril in the air.

-continued on next page-

And when at length her course is run,

Her work for home and country done,

Of all the souls that in her sailed

Let not one life in thee have failed;

But hear from heaven our sailor’s cry,

And grant eternal life on high!

Music“Gabriel’s Oboe,” by Ennio Morricone

Reflections and Reading

“Ithaka,” by C. P. Cavafy

As you set out for Ithaka

hope your road is a long one,

full of adventure, full of discovery.

May there be many summer mornings when,

with what pleasure, what joy,you enter harbors you’re seeing for the first time;

Keep Ithaka always in your mind.

Arriving there is what you’re destined for.

But don’t hurry the journey at all.

-continued on next page-

Better if it lasts for years,

so you’re old by the time you reach the island,

wealthy with all you’ve gained on the way,

not expecting Ithaka to make you rich.

Ithaka gave you the marvelous journey.Without her you wouldn’t have set out.

She has nothing left to give you now.

And if you find her poor, Ithaka won’t have fooled you.Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you’ll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

Excerpt From a 1961 Address by President-Elect John F.

Kennedy to General Court of Massachusetts

... I have been guided by the standard John Winthrop set

before his shipmates on the flagship Arbella three hundred and thirty-one years ago, as they, too, faced the task of

building a new government on a perilous frontier. “We must

always consider”, he said, “that we shall be as a city upon a

hill—the eyes of all people are upon us”. Today the eyes of

all people are truly upon us—and our governments, in every

branch, at every level, national, state and local, must be as a

city upon a hill—constructed and inhabited by men aware

of their great trust and their great responsibilities. For we

are setting out upon a voyage no less hazardous than that

undertaken by the Arbella in 1630.

-continued on next page-

We are committing ourselves to tasks of statecraft no less awesome

than that of governing the Massachusetts Bay Colony, beset as it

was then by terror without and disorder within. History will not

judge our endeavors—and a government cannot be selected—merely on the basis of color or creed or even party affiliation. Neither will competence and loyalty and stature, while essential to

the utmost, suffice in times such as these. For of those to whom much is given, much is required ...

“America The Beautiful,”Lyrics by Katharine Lee Bates

Music by Samuel A. Ward

O beautiful for spacious skies,

For amber waves of grain,

For purple mountain majestiesAbove the fruited plain!

America! America!

God shed His grace on thee

And crown thy good with brotherhood

From sea to shining sea!

O beautiful for pilgrim feet,

Whose stern, impassioned stress

A thoroughfare for freedom beat

Across the wilderness!

America! America!

God mend thine every flaw,Confirm thy soul in self-control,

Thy liberty in law!
