find out what the country's customs are,
and refrain from offending against them.

and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined,
he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.

in a more liberal sense,
and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.

institutions must advance also to keep pace with the times.
