“Thus he who has raised

himself above the alms-basket, and, not content to live lazily on scraps

of begged opinions, sets his own thoughts on work, to find and follow

truth, will (whatever he lights on) not miss the hunter's satisfaction;

every moment of his pursuit will reward his pains with some delight; and

he will have reason to think his time not ill spent, even when he cannot

much boast of any great acquisition.”

An Essay Concerning Human Understanding-John Locke
