I think this´ll help idk... if it doesnt then sorry :(
There are nowadays professors of philosophy, but not philosophers. Yet it is admirable to profess because it was once admirable to live. To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts ... but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and trust. It is to solve some of the problems of life.... [In contrast the] success of great scholars and thinkers is commonly a courtier-like success, not kingly, not manly. They make shift to live merely by conformity ... and are in no sense the progenitors of a noble race of men.
