The mind bent to truth...

"...Education, as always, began as character. Parents should wish to avoid the rearing of children who are "bold without shame, rash without skill, [and] full of words without wit," because children with these traits become adults with the same tendencies--plus the cleverness and guile to make the world suffer their deficiencies and vices. Virtue, like knowledge, may be "hard and irksome in the beginning, but in the end easy and pleasant." For "where will inclineth to goodness, the mind is bent to truth."
