עמוד 58 - He who aims to be a man of complete virtue, in his food does not seek to gratify his appetite, nor in his dwelling-place does he seek the appliances of ease : he is earnest in what he is doing, and careful in his speech ; he frequents the company of men of principle that he may be rectified : — such a person may be said indeed to love to learn.
