One cannot teach children the danger of lying to men without being aware of the greater danger, on the part of men, of lying to children. A single proved lie told by the master to the child would ruin forever the whole fruit of the education.[On ne peut apprendre aux enfants le danger de mentir aux hommes, sans sentir, de la part des hommes, le danger plus grand de mentir aux enfants. Un seul mensonge avéré du maître à l’élève ruineroit à jamais tout le fruit de l’éducation.]
