Note 24 — Chapter V · THE QUESTION CONSIDERED IN ITS SOCIAL BEARINGS.
Reading edition
Some German poet, whose name has escaped me says,
“Tapfer ist der Lowensieger,
Tapfer is der Weltbezwinger,
Tapferer, wer sich selbst bezwang!”
“Brave is the lion-victor,
Brave the conqueror of a world,
Braver he who controls himself!”
It is a noble sentiment, and very appropriate to the present discussion.
