ABLAZE: A GENTLEMAN

A man so trained in his youth that his body is the ready servant of his will, and does with ease and pleasure all the work 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 working order . . . one who, no stunted ascetic, is full of fire, but whose passions are trained to come to heel by a vigorous will, the servant of a tender conscience ; who has learned to love all beauty, to hate all vileness, and to respect others as himself.

—Thomas Henry Huxley. A quote from his Essay "A Liberal Education, and Where to find it" 🔥🌹🔥
