THOUGHT FOR Tilt'WEEK:
’’Without controversy, learning no doth make the
of men, gentle, generous, amiable and pliant to
whereas ignorance makes them churusn, thwarting and mitin-
ous; and the evidence of time doth clear this assertion con-
sidering that the most barbarous, rude and unlearned times
have been most subject to tumuots, seditions and changes. "
—Bacon
