HIM: Come now, you needn't be afraid. The important point, the difficult point which a father has to attend to above all is not so much to give his child vices that will make him wealthy or foolish behaviour that will make him valuable to great people  everyone does that, if not systematically, as I do, at least by example and in lessons  but to give him a sense of proportion, the art of dodging shame, dishonour, and the law. HIM COME NOW YOU NEEDN'T BE AFRAID THE IMPORTANT POINT THE DIFFICULT POINT WHICH A FATHER HAS TO ATTEND TO ABOVE ALL IS NOT SO MUCH TO GIVE HIS CHILD VICES THAT WILL MAKE HIM WEALTHY OR FOOLISH BEHAVIOUR THAT WILL MAKE HIM VALUABLE TO GREAT PEOPLE EVERY ONE DOES THAT IF NOT SYSTEMATICALLY AS I DO AT LEAST BY EXAMPLE AND IN LESSONS BUT TO GIVE HIM A SENSE OF PROPORTION THE ART OF DODGING SHAME DISHONOUR AND THE LAW
, and I'll teach him those early on. If you criticize me, you wise men, the mob and my child's success will absolve me. He'll have gold--I assure you--and if he has a lot of that, he won't lack anything, not even your estimation and respect. ME: You could be wrong. HIM: Well then, he'll go without, like plenty of other people. In everything he said there were so many things one thinks about and acts upon but which one does not say. And, to tell you the truth, that's the most remarkable difference between my man and most of those around us. He admitted the vices he had, which are those other men possess, but he wasn't a hypocrite. He was neither more nor less abominable than they were. He was only more candid, more consistent, and sometimes more profound in his depravity. I trembled to think what his child could become with a teacher like him. It's certain that after educational ideas so strictly tailored to our morality, he would go far, unless he was prematurely stopped along the way. AYS TO ARRIVE AT THIS GOAL AND I'LL TEACH HIM THOSE EARLY ON IF YOU CRITICISE ME YOU WISE MAN THE MOB AND MY CHILD'S SUCCESS WILL ABSOLVE ME HE'LL HAVE GOLD I ASSURE YOU AND IF HE HAS A LOT OF THAT HE WON'T LIKE ANYTHING NOT EVEN YOUR ESTIMATION AND RESPECT ME YOU COULD BE WRONG HIM WELL THEN HE'LL GO WITHOUT WILL LIKE PLENTY OF OTHER PEOPLE IN EVERYTHING HE SAID THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS ONE THINKS ABOUT AND ACTS UPON BUT WHICH ONE DOES NOT SAY AND TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH THAT'S THE MOST REMARKABLE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY MAN AND MOST OF THOSE AROUND US HE ADMITTED THE VICES HE HAD WHICH ARE THOSE OTHER MEN POSSESS BUT HE WASN'T A HYPOCRITE HE WAS NEITHER MORE NOR LESS ABOMINABLE THAN THEY WERE HE WAS ONLY MORE CANDID MORE CONSISTENT AND SOMETIMES MORE PROFOUND IN HIS DEPRAVITY I TREMBLED TO THINK WHAT HIS CHILD WOULD BECOME WITH A TEACHER LIKE HIM IT'S CERTAIN THAT AFTER EDUCATIONAL IDEAS SO STRICTLY TAILORED TO OUR MORALITY HE WOULD GO FAR UNLESS HE WAS PREMATURELY STOPPED ALONG THE WAY
