7184. RECTITUDE, Fame and.—
Give
up money, give up fame, give up science, give
the earth itself and all it contains, rather than
do an immoral act. And never suppose, that in
any possible situation, or under any circumstances,
it is best for you to do a dishonorable
thing, however slightly so it may appear to you. [413]
