Now the spirit of a nation is its ideal, and this alone can produce such energy as to over- come opposing material forces. Of course it depends on the character of the ideal and the capacity of the idealist. Among the known peoples of antiquity there were, besides Israel, only two nations that showed a capacity for the ideal, the Greeks and Romans. The ideals of the Greeks were Beauty and Knowledge ; but these ideals only served them for comfort, pleasure and enjoyment. Did they ever show any s...elf-sacrifice, or produce any martyrs for these ideals ? Did they ever consciously attempt to spread a love for beauty or the thoughts of their philo- sophers as the elements of general culture ? By no means. It was for this reason, because they were with- eut this earnestness and energy, that they and ihtir ideals II have fallen, and only grateful memories and a few memorials of them remain. Still less could the old Romans preserve for them- selves their ideals ; their tendency to expansion and con- quest, and above all, their practical political organisa- tion, were in themselves of a material nature.
