John Dryden Quotes About Study

Quotes about: Study

• How blessed is he, who leads a country life, Unvex'd with anxious cares, and void of strife! Who studying peace, and shunning civil rage, Enjoy'd his youth, and now enjoys his age: All who deserve his love, he makes his own; And, to be lov'd himself, needs only to be known.

So true it is that nothing spreads more fast than Science, when rightly and generally cultivated.
