“Some folks think that being smart in the books is the only kind of smart, but that just isn’t so. …
Men learn a lot by doin’, and they learn by listenin’ to what others say, but when a man is workin’ on a farm or walkin’ in the woods or ridin’ across country, he can do a lot of thinking. Many a man who reads a lot just repeats what he’s read, and not what he thinks.”
