discuss, debate and deliberate on all the issues important to our
development. Thus our minds mature.

In "Advice to His Children"
(1699) William Penn tells them: "The Wisdom of Nations lies in their
Proverbs, which are brief and pithy. Collect and learn them... They are
notable measures and directions for human life. You have Much in
Little; they save time and speaking, and on occasion may be the fullest
and safest answers."
"It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of
quotations.... The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you
good thoughts."-- Winston Churchill.
