知识是一回事,美德是另一回事。
正确的判断力并非意识,文雅并非谦逊,
广博与正义的观点也并非信仰。
哲学,无论多么富有启迪,然而深刻,
不给任何控制情感,不具备有影响力的动机,不生气勃勃的精神的原则。
自由教育并不造就基督教徒,而不是天主教徒,但绅士。
它是一个绅士,
它有一个有教养的思维,口感细腻,
一个坦率的、公平的、冷静的头脑,
一个高尚的人,行为礼貌轴承的生活
这些都是在一个更大的固有品质的知识;
他们的对象的大学。
我提倡,我要说明,坚持在他们身上;
但是,我再重复一次,他们是不保障圣洁或甚至责任感,
并且他们可能连接到男人的世界,挥霍无度,
无情的,愉快的,唉,和有吸引力的因为他表明当应用在其中。
被他们自己,他们做的事情,但似乎他们不;
他们看起来像美德远的时候,但他们会侦测到接近观察员,在长期内;
从而,指控虚伪是普遍和虚伪,
再说一次,我从自己的错,
但因为他们的教授和他们的仰慕者坚持以他们为他们所不是的,
并在对他们arrogating爱管闲事的赞美,他们没有要求。
采石场用剃刀就可以开采出花岗岩,或者用一根线泊位船只丝的,
