Great teachers said: “Love is patient and kind.”
"Ask and it shall be given you.” “Seek and you shall find.”
Another great one said: “An eye for an eye is only making the whole world blind.”
CHORUS: “The thought of what America (could) be like,
if the classics had a wide circulation, troubles my sleep.” The thought of what America, the thought of what America (could) be like, troubles my sleep.”
A great leader said: “We declare our independence to be free.”
“(Everyone’s) created equal with a right to liberty.”
A great prophet said: “Into plowshares turn their swords and their spears to pruning hooks. Nations shall learn war no more.” CHORUS
“Know yourself.” “Nothing in excess.” This was the Greek key to success.
The advice their philosopher was giving: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” CHORUS
