For, during the time I have known you, I have learnt that the most noteworthy, instructive, and decisive experiences and events in one's life are those which are of daily occurrence; that the greatest riddle, displayed in full view of all, is seen by the fewest to be the greatest riddle, and that these problems are spread about in every direction, under the very feet of the passers by, for the few real philosophers to lift up carefully, thenceforth to shine as diamonds of wisdom. FOR DURING THE TIME I HAVE KNOWN YOU I HAVE LEARNT THAT THE MOST NOTEWORTHY INSTRUCTIVE AND DECISIVE EXPERIENCES AND EVENTS IN ONE'S LIFE ARE THOSE WHICH ARE OF DAILY OCCURRENCE THAT THE GREATEST RIDDLE DISPLAYED IN FULL VIEW OF ALL IS SEEN BY THE FEWEST TO BE THE GREATEST RIDDLE AND THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE SPREAD ABOUT IN EVERY DIRECTION UNDER THE VERY FEET OF THE PASSER BY FOR THE FEW REAL PHILOSOPHERS TO LIFT UP CAREFULLY THENCEFORTH TO SHINE AS DIAMONDS OF WISDOM
le who don't understand us! I don't know what you mean by such a thing, my friend!" We did not think it proper to interrupt the dissatisfied old grumbler; and as he came to a melancholy close we did not dare to tell him how greatly this distrustful repudiation of students vexed us. At last the philosopher's companion turned to him and said: "I am reminded of the fact that even you at one time, before I made your acquaintance, occupied posts in several universities, and that reports concerning your intercourse with the students and your methods of instruction at the time are still in circulation. From the tone of resignation in which you have just referred to students many would be inclined to think that you had some peculiar experiences which were not at all to your liking; but personally I rather believe that you saw and experienced in such places just what every one else saw and experienced in them, but that you judged what you saw and felt more justly and severely than any one else. H YOU A THRONG OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T UNDERSTAND US I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY SUCH A THING MY FRIEND WE DID NOT THINK IT PROPER TO INTERRUPT THE DISSATISFIED OLD GRUMBLER AND AS HE CAME TO A MELANCHOLY CLOSE WE DID NOT DARE TELL HIM HOW GREATLY THIS DISTRUSTFUL REPUDIATION OF STUDENTS VEXED US AT LAST THE PHILOSOPHER'S COMPANION TURNED TO HIM AND SAID I AM REMINDED OF THE FACT THAT EVEN YOU AT ONE TIME BEFORE I MADE YOUR ACQUAINTANCE OCCUPIED POSTS IN SEVERAL UNIVERSITIES AND THAT REPORTS CONCERNING YOUR INTERCOURSE WITH THE STUDENTS AND YOUR METHODS OF INSTRUCTION AT THE TIME ARE STILL IN CIRCULATION FROM THE TONE OF RESIGNATION IN WHICH YOU HAVE JUST REFERRED TO STUDENTS MANY WOULD BE INCLINED TO THINK THAT YOU HAD SOME PECULIAR EXPERIENCES WHICH WERE NOT AT ALL TO YOUR LIKING BUT PERSONALLY I RATHER BELIEVE THAT YOU SAW AND EXPERIENCED IN SUCH PLACES JUST WHAT EVERY ONE ELSE SAW AND EXPERIENCED IN THEM BUT THAT YOU JUDGED WHAT YOU SAW FELT MORE JUSTLY AND SEVERELY THAN ANY ONE ELSE
