The State was for his culture not a supervisor, regulator, and watchman, but a vigorous and muscular companion and friend, ready for war, who accompanied his noble, admired, and, as it were, ethereal friend through disagreeable reality, earning his thanks therefor. THE STATE WAS FOR HIS CULTURE NOT A SUPERVISOR REGULATOR AND WATCHMAN BUT A VIGOROUS AND MUSCULAR COMPANION AND FRIEND READY FOR WAR WHO ACCOMPANIED HIS NOBLE ADMIRED AND AS IT WERE ETHEREAL FRIEND THROUGH DISAGREEABLE REALITY EARNING HIS THANKS THEREFOR
ipotence which was attained only in antiquity, and which almost every young man, by both instinct and training, thinks it is the crowning glory and highest aim of human beings to reach." "Such a comparison," said the philosopher, "would be quite hyperbolical, and would not hobble along on one leg only. For, indeed, the ancient State emphatically did not share the utilitarian point of view of recognising as culture only what was directly useful to the State itself, and was far from wishing to destroy those impulses which did not seem to be immediately applicable. For this very reason the profound Greek had for the State that strong feeling of admiration and thankfulness which is so distasteful to modern men; because he clearly recognised not only that without such State protection the germs of his culture could not develop, but also that all his inimitable and perennial culture had flourished so luxuriantly under the wise and careful guardianship of the protection afforded by the State. AND A FORM OF STATE OMNIPOTENCE WHICH IS ATTAINED ONLY IN ANTIQUITY AND WHICH ALMOST EVERY YOUNG MAN BY BOTH INSTINCT AND TRAINING THINKS IS THE CROWNING GLORY AND HIGHEST AIM OF HUMAN BEINGS TO REACH SUCH A COMPARISON SAID THE PHILOSOPHER WOULD BE QUITE HYPERBOLICAL AND WOULD NOT HOBBLE ALONG ON ONE LEG ONLY FOR INDEED THE ANCIENT STATE EMPHATICALLY DID NOT SHARE THE UTILITARIAN POINT OF VIEW OF RECOGNIZING AS CULTURE ONLY WHAT WAS DIRECTLY USEFUL TO THE STATE ITSELF AND WAS FAR FROM WISHING TO DESTROY THOSE IMPULSES WHICH DID NOT SEEM TO BE IMMEDIATELY APPLICABLE FOR THIS VERY REASON THE PROFOUND GREEK HAD FOR THE STATE THAT STRONG FEELING OF ADMIRATION AND THANKFULNESS WHICH IS SO DISTASTEFUL TO MODERN MEN BECAUSE HE CLEARLY RECOGNISED NOT ONLY THAT WITHOUT SUCH STATE PROTECTION THE GERMS OF HIS CULTURE COULD NOT DEVELOP BUT ALSO THAT ALL HIS INIMITABLE AND PERENNIAL CULTURE HAD FLOURISHED SO LUXURIANTLY UNDER THE WISE AND CAREFUL GUARDIANSHIP OF THE PROTECTION AFFORDED BY THE STATE
