On his father's removal to Schoenebeck in 1821 he asked to be sent to the cathedral school at Magdeburg, inwardly hoping thus to break away from his sinful snares and vicious companions, and, amid new scenes, find help in self-reform.
Yet all these interwoven influences a deep love of his children and a sincere attachment to his wife, of whom, indeed, he never ceased to speak with respect and regard were as powerless as in so many thousands of other cases they have been, to brace an enfeebled will to the task of self-reform. In 1807 "respect and regard" had manifestly taken the place of any warmer feeling in his mind.
Increased sympathy between the old and young, increased intercourse between the teacher and the taught, increased freedom and charity of thought, and a steady purpose of internal self-reform and progress, seem to me already bearing good fruit, by making the young men regard their University with content and respect.
It is conceivably possible for a monarch of genius to put himself at the head of a revolution without ceasing to be the king of his people. For the autocracy of Holy Russia the only conceivable self-reform is suicide. The same relentless fate holds in its grip the all-powerful ruler and his helpless people.
He advised me, as a means of self-reform, to make my choice of a profession, and to absorb myself in closer studies than any that I had yet pursued. I made my peace with this good friend and second father, not only by following his advice, but by adopting the profession to which he had been himself attached before he inherited his fortune the profession of medicine.

English horses were brought over to improve the breed in Hungary, and English agricultural machinery still turns out treasure-trove from our fields.

It has distributed 1.5 million school books and is building 17,000 classrooms. It has helped resettle tens of thousands of farm families on land they can call their own. It is stimulating our good neighbors to more self-help and self-reform fiscal, social, institutional, and land reforms. It is bringing new housing and hope, new health and dignity, to millions who were forgotten.
Last month in Latin America I saw for myself the quickening of hope, the revival of confidence, the new trust in our country among workers and farmers as well as diplomats. We have pledged our help in speeding their economic, educational, and social progress. The Latin American Republics have in turn pledged a new and strenuous effort of self-help and self-reform.
Remembering that the current of his life had hitherto oozed along in one smooth stream of laziness, occasionally troubled on the surface by a slight passing ripple of industry, his present ideas on the subject of self-reform, inclined him not as the reader may be disposed to imagine, to project schemes for a new existence of enterprise and exertion but, on the contrary, to resolve that he would never, if he could possibly help it, be active or industrious again, throughout the whole of his future career.
Might she ask leave to call on me, in the hope of improving her position in my estimation? An appointment followed for the next day. What can she have to say to me which she has not already said? Is it anything about Philip, I wonder? At our interview of the next day, Mrs. Tenbruggen's capacity for self-reform appeared under a new aspect.
