The educated man...

The educated man
must be able to distinguish
between the momentary and the momentous,
the effervescent and the lasting.

He must not run
after glitter and glamour
but seek instead the good and golden.

He must know
how to keep the body in good trim,
the senses under strict control,
the mind well within check,
the intellect sharp and clear,
unhampered by prejudices and hatred,
and the feelings untouched by egoism.
