Knowledge conquered by labor becomes a possession ...

Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

Practical wisdom is only to be learned in the school of experience. Precepts and instruction are useful so far as they go, but, without the discipline of real life, they remain of the nature of theory only.

We live in an age of instant knowledge. And there's almost a sense of entitlement to that.
