Quote by Henry Smith
Reader, Now I send thee like a Bee to gather honey out of flowers

Reader, Now I send thee like a Bee to gather honey out of flowers and weeds; every garden is furnished with either, and so is ours. Read and meditate; thy profit shall be little in any book, unless thou read alone, and unless thou read all and record after. – Henry Smith
