It was always my affection, even from a child, not only to learn by rote, but to know the grounds or reasons of what I learnt; to inform my judgement as well as to furnish my memory.
Ito ay palaging ang aking pagmamahal, kahit na mula sa isang bata, hindi lamang upang matuto sa pamamagitan ng ulit, ngunit upang malaman ang paligid o dahilan ng kung ano ako learnt; upang ipaalam sa aking hatol pati na rin sa mga muwebles ng aking memorya.
