Famous quotes containing the words study and/or designs:
“The study of error is not only in the highest degree prophylactic, but it serves as a stimulating introduction to the study of truth.”

Which we ascribe to heaven. The fated sky
Gives us free scope, only doth backward pull
Our slow designs when we ourselves are dull.”
