Nothing tends in this respect so
much to enlarge the mind as traveling, i. e., making a
visit to other towns, cities, or countries, besides those in
which we were born and educated; and where our condition
of life does not grant us this privilege, we must
endeavor to supply the want of it by books.
--Isaac Watts, The Improvement of the Mind.

your companions on the first proper opportunity you

--Isaac Watts, The Improvement of the Mind.

In reading authors, when you find
Bright passages, that strike your mind,
And which, perhaps, you may have reason
To think on, at another season,
Be not contented with the sight,
But take them down in black and white;
Such a respect is wisely shown,
As makes another's sense one's own.
--Goerge Gordon Byron

the possession of knowledge has a given value at fifty, it has a much greater value at twenty-five; for there is
the use of it for twenty-five of the most important years of your life; and it is worth more than a hundred per
cent interest. Indeed, who can estimate the interest of knowledge? Its price is above rubies.
--Edward Winslow
