Culture means to cultivate, to grow, to develop and to expand. Our culture is what we regard as ideal or best for us to cultivate. When we take interest in the cultivation of our body, we are said to be interested in physical culture; when we hunt libraries in search of reading material and burn midnight oil to acquire knowledge, we are interested in intellectual culture.
