Why We Spend So Much Time Outdoors

3. The World is certainly a great and stately Volume of natural Things; and may be not improperly styled the Hieroglyphicks of a better: But, alas! how very few Leaves of it do we seriously turn over! This ought to be the Subject of the Education of our Youth, who, at Twenty, when they should be fit for Business, know little or nothing of it.
4.We are in Pain to make them Scholars, but not Men! To talk, rather than to know, which is true Canting.

William Penn
