I have one of my friends who graduated from university and became a fine public servant. Once he told me that what he had learned from school had been useless. However, what little philosophy he had learned proved to be of great benefit.
私の友人に大学を卒業して立派な官吏となっておる者がある。ある時この人が私に曰うに、僕は学校に於て教ったことは何も役に立たなかった、しかし少しばかり学んだ哲学が僕に非常な利益を与えたと。
