> "Do your duty, however unpleasant it may be for all concerned" is edifying and appeals to your sadistic instincts. "Eat more green vegetables, and you will hate your neighbours less" is scientific morality but is by no means edifying.

> The professions in which a man is allowed to behave in a natural manner are, of course, on the whole less lucrative than those in which a high standard of humbug is required.
