Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Education makes us more stupid than the brutes. A thousand voices call to us on every hand but our ears are stopped with wisdom.
Truth of a modest sort I can promise you and also sincerity. That complete praiseworthy sincerity which while it delivers one into the hands of one's enemies is as likely as not to embroil one with one's friends.
