Σελίδα 43 - Wise men have said are wearisome; who reads Incessantly, and to his reading brings not A spirit and judgment equal or superior (And what he brings, what needs he elsewhere seek) Uncertain and unsettled still remains, Deep versed in books and shallow in himself, Crude or intoxicate, collecting toys, And trifles for choice matters, worth a sponge; As children gathering pebbles on the shore.
Σελίδα 35 - Up! up! my Friend, and quit your books; Or surely you'll grow double : Up! up! my Friend, and clear your looks; Why all this toil and trouble?
Σελίδα 44 - Imprimis, As soon as PHOEBUS' Rays inspect us, First, Sir, I read ; and then I Breakfast ; So on, 'till foresaid God does set, I sometimes Study, sometimes Eat.

What should I do ? or whither turn...
Σελίδα 47 - I know you all, and will awhile uphold The unyoked humour of your idleness ; Yet herein will I imitate the sun, Who doth permit the base contagious clouds To smother up his beauty from the world, That when he please again to be himself, Being wanted, he may be more wonder'd at, By breaking through the foul and ugly mists Of vapours that did seem to strangle him.
Σελίδα 37 - We would beseech him, as he values health, heaven's prirnest blessing, not to strain, in immoderate toil, the fine springs of the mind, nor to waste and unsettle the immatured strength of the body. A course of excessive study is the most ruinous of all attacks that can be made upon the constitution.
Σελίδα 38 - The mind should never be forced. It is like a plant in its natural soil, which will bear well with...
