Above all, the search after truth
and its eager pursuit are peculiar to man. And so, when we have leisure from the demands of business cares, we are eager
to see, to hear, to learn something new, and we esteem a desire to know the secrets or wonders of creation as indispensable
to a happy life. Thus we come to understand that what is true, simple, and genuine appeals most strongly to a man's nature.
To this passion for discovering truth there is added a hungering, as it were, for independence, so that a mind well-moulded
by Nature is unwilling to be subject to anybody save one who gives rules of conduct or is a teacher of truth or who, for the
general good, rules according to justice and law. From this attitude come greatness of soul and a sense of superiority to
worldly conditions. And it is no mean manifestation of Nature and Reason that man is the only animal that has a feeling for
order, for propriety, for moderation in word and deed
