Moral and Intellectual Excellence

By Sir Humphry Davy

LET no difficulties alarm you. You may be what you please. Preserve the dignity of your mind, and the purity of your moral conduct. Move straight forward to moral and intellectual excellence. Let no example induce you to violate decorum—no ridicule prevent you from guarding against sensuality and vice. Live in such a way that you can always say, The whole world may know what I am doing.—Sir Humphry Davy.
