1,379. Moral Instruction; Naiveté
"To youth, therefore, it should be carefully inculcated, that to enter the road of life without caution or reserve, in expectation of general fidelity and justice, is to launch on the wide ocean without the instruments of steerage, and to hope that every wind will be prosperous, and that every coast will afford a harbour."
Johnson: Rambler #175 (November 19, 1751)
