“A healthy pair of eyes should see everything that can be
seen and not say, “No! Too bright!” (which is a symptom of
ophthalmia).
A healthy sense of hearing or smell should be prepared for
any sound or scent; a healthy stomach should have the same
reaction to all foods, as a mill to what it grinds.
So too a healthy mind should be prepared for anything.
The one that keeps saying, “Are my children all right?” or
“Everyone must approve of me” is like eyes that can only
stand pale colors, or teeth that can handle only mush.”

“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention.”
