knowledge and Virtue

　　Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another;

　　good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility,

　　nor is largeness and justness of view faith.

　　Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound,

　　gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles.

　　Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman.

　　It is well to be a gentleman,

　　it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste,

　　a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind,

　　a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life

　　—these are the connatural qualities of a large knowledge;

　　they are the objects of a University.

　　I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them;

　　but still, I repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness,
