his name was written six times in cicero's orations.ll he did in his life, all he read in his massive library -- he went back again and again to that original text that meant so much to him. the founders learned not just about war and politics. have you ever dabbled in plutarch's "lives"? how many of you know about plutarch's "lives"? a lot of you do. that was the poor man's classical education. if you did not have the opportunity to read all these works in the original languages, you could sit down with a translation of plutarch and read these biographies of these incredibly successful people throughout ancient times, and a few reprobates as well. plutarch is very good at giving you things that worked, made their lives particularly successful, and occasionally showing how you could ruin your life by doing something that would not be useful or constructive at all. what is amazing is that these lessons stuck. they were incredibly important. general george washington said goodbye to his senior officers here. was called during the revoluti

he said that cicero is more well read than anyone else. thomas jefferson the author of the declaration of independence said it was a statement of the american mind but he cited a the cicero as one of the things that inspired it. it must comport to the law of god that existed before christianity existed before christ came to this earth and it was through martin luther king a baptist for the st. thomas and saint augustin roman catholic saints on the same principle so now we have in the united states of america people that reject the principle that is a very profound thing. it's not just rejecting our own tradition. it's rejecting the tradition that goes right back to the pre- christian times and i would argue it is just simply true so we are turning our back on the truth. we turn our back on the national law. we are turning our back on the truth. >> host: one must call from scranton pennsylvania. >> caller: hello. first thing i want to say is i apologize for backing us up here a little bit but i've been trying to get through for a while so i

number ofiers to be at the boston public library in coakley square, and to hold john adams' copy of cicero'stion in my hand, which was really need. every time he read that book, it was a lifelong favorite. every time he read it, he wrote his name in it. his name was writtening six times. all that he did throughout his life, all that he read, and his bribe rather is massive. he went back again and again to the original text that meant so much to him. the founders learned enormously from the ancients, not just about about war and politics -- by the way, have enough you read or dabbled in plutart's lives. quite a number of you aj!lքzmri that was sort of the poor man's classical education. if you didn't have the opportunity to read all of these great ancient works in the you could with a translation of ply tart, lives of eminent greeks and romans, you could real about these incredibly successful people, and also a fee rep rho bates as well. and also occasionally showing how you could ruin your life by doing something that wouldn't be useful or constructive at all. the thing that's amazing is th

and here again, i don't think john adams sat down six times with cicero's orations just a because he liked the way the text flowed. he was assessing himself. and all things that were so important. we can read them properly i think the translation but i think now we're in a time where you are educational system believes if it isn't looked ahead, if it isn't forward thinking it is wasting time and energy. and of course we do that at some peril i think. because not only are we inclined to forget lessons that probably shouldn't be forgotten but we're consciously ignoring a huge part of the curriculum that shaped the very people that created this country. i hear people all the time when i'm dressed up as hamilton talking about well they were so such great men and where are great people like? why do we live in a time where people are just not so smart and strong and motivated? well, we are educated differently. and admittedly we need to be. we need all the technical sorts of things that can help us compete in a more complex world. they leaved in a 3 miles per hour world. they were walking

readys cicero is more well than anybody else around the founding fathers. it was afferson says statement of the american mind, but he cited cicero as one of the things that inspired it. this idea that the laws of the nation must comport to the laws of god is one that existed before christianity existed, before christ came to this earth, and persisted through western civilization. martin luther king, a baptist clergyman, quoted saint thomas principle.that same now we have in the united states of america people who reject that principle. that's a very profound thing. it is not just rejecting our own tradition going back to our founding, it is rejecting a tradition in western civilization that goes back to pre-christian times. simply argue it is just truth. we are turning our back on the truth. we turn our back on national law and god's law -- on natural law and god's law, we are turning our back on the truth. host: let's take one more call. this is from scranton, pennsylvania. caller: i apologize for backing us up a little bit, but i've been trying to get thr
