"No man who hath tasted learning but will confess the many ways of profiting by
those who, not contented with stale receipts, are able to manage and set forth new
positions to the world: and, were they, but as the dust and cinders of our feet, so long
as in that notion, they may yet serve to polish and brighten the armoury of truth,
even for that respect they were not utterly to be cast away."-MILTON,
