Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, whether you like it or not. - Thomas Henry Huxley

When we consider these simple facts, we see how absolutely futile are the attempts that have been made to draw a parallel between the story told by so much of the crust of the earth as is known to us and the story which Milton tells.

Siéntate ante los hechos como un niño pequeño, disponte a abandonar cualquier idea preconcebida, sigue a la naturaleza dondequiera y a cualesquiera abismos a los que te lleve, o no aprenderás nada

Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and, however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
