Education begins a gentleman, conversation completes him.

Summary

This quote suggests that while education is crucial in shaping an individual into a well-rounded person, it is through meaningful conversations and interactions with others that one's character is fully developed. Education provides the foundation for knowledge and refinement, but true growth is achieved by engaging with diverse perspectives, actively listening, and engaging in thoughtful discussions. Through conversation, one gains insights, challenges their ideas, and learns empathy and understanding. In this way, conversation serves as the transformative element that brings out the qualities of a true gentleman or a complete individual.
