Learning in a corrupt man is a fierce weapon for evil. Education elevates only the virtuous soul.

These are the fruits of evil conduct!

Stand on ceremony, and sincerity stops.

And what is it you want to ask me? Just as long as it's not money, my master, then I can lend you anything. You know how money is nowadays: no one lends it for nothing, and for it you're not refused anything.
