It was Newman who defined vulgarity as 'the greatest of vices, because the compound of so many small ones'; and the same author somewhere remarks that to be a perfect gentleman is one of the greatest aids to being a perfect Christian. As long as the vital bond of your friendship with God remains unbroken, the world, the flesh, and the devil will seek in vain to sway you from your moral steadfastness. It is only when you forget to converse with the Heart of Jesus that you run the risk of falling away from the first standing ground of your integrity.
