find time for self-culture? I answer, that
an earnest purpose finds time, or makes it.
It seizes on spare moments, and turns
fragments to golden account. A man who
follows his calling with industry and spirit,
and uses his earnings economically, will always
have some portion of the day at command.
And it is astonishing how fruitful of improvement
a short season becomes, when eagerly
seized and faithfully used. It has often been observed,
that those who have the most time at their disposal
profit by it the least. A single hour in the day,
steadily given to the study of some interesting subject,
brings unexpected accumulations of knowledge. -Channing
