It cannot be too deeply impressed on the mind, that application is the price to be paid for mental acquisitions, and that it is as absurd to expect them without it, as to hope for a harvest where we have not sown the seed.
—Bailey.

Narrowness of mind is often the cause of obstinacy: we do not easily believe beyond what we see.
—La Rochefoucauld.
1353
I am one,
Who finds within me a nobility,
That spurns the idle pratings of the great,
And their mean boast of what their fathers were,
While they themselves are fools effeminate,
The scorn of all who know the worth of mind
And virtue.
1354
All who know their mind do not know their heart.
