[19]
If all this
time were spent on study, life would seem long
enough and there would be plenty of time for learning, even though we should take the hours of daylight only into our account, without asking any
assistance from the night, of which no little space
is superfluous even for the heaviest sleeper. As it
is, we count not the years which we have given to
study, but the years we have lived.
