Summary
This quote suggests that young individuals who hold strong moral values and consider themselves virtuous are more prone to making mistakes or engaging in wrongdoing. It implies that the enthusiasm, impulsiveness, and lack of life experience may lead them to err or diverge from their righteous path, contrasting their presumed purity with actual misconduct. Essentially, it suggests that the naivety and idealism of a youthful saint can sometimes lead to more egregious transgressions than those committed by others.
