But it is desirable that we should not restrict our
study to the precepts of philosophy alone. It is still
more important that we should know and ponder
continually all the noblest sayings and deeds that have
been handed down to us from ancient times. And
assuredly we shall nowhere find a larger or more
remarkable store of these than in the records of our
own country.
