Who Is Learned?
A definition
One who, consuming midnight oil
in studies diligent and slow,
teaches himself, with painful toil,
the things that other people know.
Nothing shows a man's character more than what he laughs at.
"Tis a sharp medicine, but it will cure all that ails you." - last words before his beheading.
If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning.
