Books are but waste paper unless we spend in action the wisdom we get from thought -- asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation.

-- Jeremy Collier, (Sep 23 1650-1726), English bishop; He was Bishop of the nonjurors, clergy who refused to take the oaths of allegiance to William III and Mary II in 1689.
