It’s Back to School, and we’re here to learn! One of my favorite quotes of all time is from T. H. White’s, The Once and Future King. Merlin is speaking to young King Arthur. Enjoy!
“The best thing for being sad . . . is to learn something. That’s the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world around you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewer of baser minds.”
“There is only one thing for it then – to learn. Learn why the world wags and what wags it. That is the only thing which the mind can never exhaust, never alienate, never be tortured by, never fear or distrust, and never dream of regretting. Learning is the only thing for you. Look what a lot of things there are to learn.”
What kind of learning are you drawn to – and what are some of the lessons that you’d very much like to complete for the balance of this year?
