To do two things at once is to do neither. The world is full of people looking for spectacular happiness while they snub contentment. A statesman who is enamored of existing evils, as distin-quished from the Liberal, who wishes to replace them with others. The first duty of a lecturer- to hand you after an hour's discourse a nugget of pure truth to wrap up between the pages of your notebooks and keep on the mantelpiece for ever. However much we guard against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us.
