“The quest of wisdom commences with learning how to eat.”
“The most basic steps towards virtues are mastered at the family table.”
“Character begins with etiquette.”
“Teach a child how to dine like a human being and you have gone wonderfully far in his education.”
“It is during family meals that human beings acquire those patterns of affability, restraint, courtesy, social dependence, and cultivated joy that prepare them for a wise life in a larger world.”
“Lessons learned at the family table are more fundamental to the pursuit of wisdom t han those learned in the classroom.”
“It is at meals that souls and minds are nourished, as well as bodies.”
“A man that does not pray at meals is no better than a dog. This is said with apologies to the family pet.”
“A person learns elementary self control at the family table. He is discouraged from gorging himself like a mule.”
“Thinking of others at the table, he also acquires the habit of restricting his passions and appetites, a lesson fundamental to the moral formation of character.”
“At the family table a person becomes versed in the formalities of speech common in a polite society.”
All of the above quotes were gleaned from “Wisdom from the Table,” an article by Patrick Henry Reardon in Touchstone Magazine, January/February 2010. |
