... We should instruct young people with laughter,
Correct their faults with great gentleness,
And never make them afraid of virtue.

... Il nous faut en riant instruire la jeunesse,
Reprendre fes défauts avec grande douceur,
Et du nom de vertu ne lui point faire peur.


- Molière, from L'École des Maris, Act I, Scene II
