“It is safer to try to understand the low in the light of the high than the high in the light of the low.”

Leo Strauss (1899–1973) Classical philosophy specialist and father of neoconservativism

Source: Liberalism Ancient and Modern (1968), p. 225
Context: It is safer to try to understand the low in the light of the high than the high in the light of the low. In doing the latter one necessarily distorts the high, whereas in doing the former one does not deprive the low of the freedom to reveal itself as fully as what it is.

“Mankind are not perfect, but one age is more or less hypocritical than another, and then simpletons say that its morality is high or low.”

L'homme est imparfait. Il est parfois plus ou moins hypocrite, et les niais disent alors qu'il a ou n'a pas de mœurs.
Part II.
Le Père Goriot (1835)
Variant: Man is imperfect. He is at some times more or less hypocritical than at others, and then simpletons say that his morality is high or low.
