He adheres as strictly as possible to the commandments which the world has given him:

1. Thou shalt be well acquainted with the world.
2. Thou shalt be an “honest” man.
3. Thou shalt be successful in business.
4. Thou shalt keep what is thine.
5. Thou shall get on in the world.
6. Thou shalt make friends.
7. Thou shalt be a society man.
8. Thou shalt make merry.
9. Thou shall not be a killjoy.
10. Thou shalt avoid singularity, dullness, and an air of piety.

Never was the world so corrupt as it is now, because it was never so astute, so wise in its own conceit, so cunning.

“The Love of Eternal Wisdom” St Louis de Montfort
