#3: The Classics take us to the frontier to be conquered.
Previous generations
have had geographical frontiers to conquer. We don't. Without a
frontier we cannot become what the Founders, the explorers and the
pioneers became in their extremities.
Our challenges
define us, our reactions to them mold and shape us. As Thucydides said
over three thousand years ago, and as I used to tell my students at
George Wythe College: "There is no need to suppose that human beings
differ very much one from another: but it is true that the ones who come
out on top are the ones who have been trained in the hardest school."
Human beings need a frontier in order to progress.
Fortunately, we do have one frontier left--and it is in fact the hardest one. It is the frontier within.
In all of history, this frontier has not been fully conquered. The most
challenging struggles of life are internal--and the classics can help.

The Coming Aristocracy:
Education and the Future of Freedom
"The Coming Aristocracy is a clarion call for all freedom-loving Americans to awaken to our present dangers. Oliver DeMille is a modern-day Founding Father and no patriot's library is complete without this book!"
"The Coming Aristocracy is compelling, timely, and vital. This may be one of the most important books you'll read this year."
