"Four marks of an educated person."
1) The educated person speaks and writes clearly and precisely, no matter how much information he may have stored away in his brain.
2) The educated person has a set of values and the courage to defend them.
3) The educated person tries to understand his society and how it differs from others. He views these differences with compassion and respect, where the uneducated man sees them as evidence of his own superiority, regarding the customs of others with condensation or contempt.
4) The educated person looks squarely at the world and all it's problems, but always with hope.
