“We must distinguish between a man of polite learning and a mere scholar: the first is a
gentleman and what a gentleman should be; the last is a mere book-case, a bundle of letters, a
head stuffed with the jargon of languages, a man that understands every body but is understood
by no body.” – Daniel Defoe ‘The Complete English Gentleman’ (written in 1728.)
