Now, where is the humility of heart of the reverend Jesuit fathers ? Perhaps it is found in their personality, in their words, in their business dealings, in their talk, their modes of work, in the smaller openings that present themselves for practising it. Were I to answer 'Yes,' you would not believe me, gentlemen, and you would be right ; for, briefly, everybody knows too well that they aim at lording it everywhere : they must act the great man wherever they find themselves. They must know all that goes on within families. To hear them talk, they are such oracles that they command the very essence of knowledge; such stern moralists, such Catos, that they engross all wisdom par excellence; such Aristotles in philosophy, such Saint Thomases in theology, such Saint Peters, that they disdain to convert the heathen in less than thousands at a time. Engage them in conversation, and they will soon begin to glorify themselves; for then, unable to put restraint on their tongues, they assume the pontiff, affect the magnifico, and expatiate on nothing but their own talents. - [Previous: 366.6.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.6.2) - [Next: 366.6.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.6.4) - [Up: 366.6](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.6) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.6.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.366.6.3) · Pramāṇa
