Getting an Education

Giacomo Leopardi, Pensieri, X (tr. W.S. Di Piero):
We can be sure that most of the people we appoint to educate our children have not been educated. Yet we assume that they can give something they have not themselves received, and that this is the only way one can get an education.

La maggior parte delle persone che deputiamo a educare i figliuoli, sappiamo di certo non essere state educate. NĂ© dubitiamo che non possano dare quello che non hanno ricevuto, e che per altra via non si acquista.
