That man, I think, has a liberal education whose body has been so
trained in youth that it is the ready servant of his will, and does
with ease and pleasure all that, as a mechanism, it is capable of;
whose intellect is a clear, cold, logic engine, with all its parts
of equal strength and in smooth running order, ready, like a
steam-engine, to be turned to any kind of work and to spin the
gossamers as well as forge the anchors of the mind; whose mind is
stored with the knowledge of the great fundamental truths of Nature
and the laws of her operations; one who, no stunted ascetic, is
full of life and fire, but whose passions have been trained to come
to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience; one
who has learned to love all beauty, whether of Nature or of art, to
hate all vileness, and to esteem others as himself.
--_Thomas Henry Huxley_
