Proper abstract nouns?

My sister just asked me if I could name any nouns that were both proper and abstract. Her English teacher gave homework to find some, but I can't think of any. I mean, an abstract noun is one that you can't see or touch, etc....so there would be none of those considered important enough to capitalize, right?

Can anyone think of some?

Certainly you can't discern the names of days with your senses but that goes for the names of most other nouns. A day can be observed with the senses...so even the day is not abstract: Democracy and words of that order ar
