The conscientious with the conscientious … prudent … wise. … shameless … unlearned … witless. The conscientious with the conscientious … learned … wise. … shameless … lazy … witless. The conscientious with the conscientious … energetic … wise. … shameless … unmindful … witless. The conscientious with the conscientious … mindful … wise.”
