"It is for our sex, undoubtedly, to form geometers, tacticians, chemists, etc.; but for what is called
the man, that is to say the
moral man, is perhaps formed by the age of ten; and if it has not been done
on the knees of his mother, it will always be a great misfortune. Nothing can replace this education. If the mother especially has made it a duty to imprint the divine character deeply on the brow of her son, one can be quite sure that the hand of vice will never efface it. The young man can go astray, undoubtedly, but he will experience, if you will permit me this expression, a
returning curve that will lead back to the point where he began."
