I have, alas! Philosophy, Medicine, Jurisprudence too, And to my cost Theology, With ardent labor, studied through. And here I stand, with all my lore, Poor fool, no wiser than before.

Everything that we encounter leaves traces behind. Everything contributes imperceptibly to our education

Ye great teachers: listen to what you say!
