"To spend too much time in studies is sloth, to use them too much for ornament is affectation, to make judgement wholly by their rules is the humor of a scholar." DDDDAAAAAYYUUMMM that is a great bit of writing.

This just might be Will Durant's most insightful and intelligent quote; ''It is a mistake to think that the past is dead. Nothing that has ever happened is quite without influence at this moment. The present is merely the past rolled up and concentrated in this second of time. You, too, are your past; often your face is your autobiography; you are what you are because of what you have been; because of your heredity stretching back into forgotten generations; because of every element of environment that has affected you, every man or woman that has met you, every book that you have read, every experience that you have had; all these are accumulated in your memory, your body, your character, your soul. So with a city, a country, and a race; it is its past, and cannot be understood without it. Will Durant, as quoted in "The Gentle Philosopher" (2006) by John Little at the Will Durant Foundation

How smart, how interesting, how entertaining it is to hear the words of Will and Ariel spoken so well. When Will was 91 I heard him give a ninety minute public speech in Beverly Hills all alone on a vast stage in front of hundreds of NABE economists. It was brilliant!
