Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for.

—Socrates

<ChrisBradley> Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings, so that you shall gain easily what others have labored hard for. -[[Socrates]]

<silsor> ChrisBradley, that could be rewritten for us - Employ your time in improving other men's writings.
