Summary

This quote highlights the importance of inspiration in teaching. It suggests that a teacher's efforts to teach effectively are futile if they fail to ignite a student's desire to learn. Just like hammering on cold iron doesn't shape or mold it, teaching without inspiring the learner won't result in proper acquisition of knowledge. An effective teacher understands the significance of sparking curiosity and motivation within their students, as it is this passion for learning that drives them to actively engage and fully comprehend the subject matter.

There is a camaraderie that grows up among those who work with old books and old papers, largely, I suspect, because we understand that we are at odds with the rest of the world: we are travelling backwards, while all those around us are still moving forward.

A glorious Church is like a magnificent feast; there is all the variety that may be, but every one chooses out a dish or two that he likes, and lets the rest alone: how glorious soever the Church is, every one chooses out of it his own religion, by which he governs himself, and lets the rest alone.
