Ce que finalment je sais de plus sur la morale et les obligations des hommes, c'est au sport que je le dois, c'est au RUA que je l'ai appris

Another quote about Morality

The men, women, and children who compose a society at any time are the unconscious depositaries and transmitters of the mores. They inherited them without knowing it; they are molding them unconsciously; they will transmit them involuntarily. The people cannot make the mores. They are made by them.
