Stick with McGuffey

Another quote from "Perserverance" in Bennett's Book of Virtues, this time sourced from the McGuffy Reader.  I love how it applies in so many ways--to both children and adults.

The fisher who draws in his net too soon, 

Won't have any fish to sell;

The child who shuts up his book too soon,

Won't learn any lessons well.

If you would have your learning stay,

Be patient--don't learn too fast;

The man who travels a mile each day,

May get round the world at last.
