Philip Stanhope
4th Earl of Chesterfield
"The strong mind"
"Little minds mistake little objects for great ones,
and lavish away upon the former that time and attention which only the
latter deserve. To such mistakes we owe the numerous and frivolous tribe
of insect-mongers, shell-mongers, and pursuers and driers of butterflies,
etc. The strong mind distinguishes, not only between the useful and the
useless, but likewise between the useful and the curious."
