Men with chests are those who have 'trained emotions', connecting the 'reason of the head to the belly of desires'. This training should be the heart of education, drawing on ageless wisdom, sometimes known as 'Tao,' to be universally found. True men are those who have ardour to pursue virtue. There is to be a 'propagation of manliness to men'.
A true leader has learnt to harness his emotions for the benefit of others.
Today we have propaganda for secularism and wonder why, when we call for virtue and enterprise, we find none. We look for honour and find traitors.
Clever men's heads appear larger as they have no chests.
Abolition of Man
C S Lewis
