Passage 22

In English

Three-fourths of life is character

Familiarity with books does not render you an educated person. Book knowledge today, tomorrow knowledge, day after tomorrow, allergy. Book knowledge is today's knowledge, but tomorrow it becomes an allergy. Education is not merely knowledge, but it must include action. Not only this, the end of education is character. Without character, there is no human nature in mankind. You will then be worse than a beast or a bird or an animal. It's been said, three-fourths of life is character.
