8. Burke has a lovely little footnote here, in which he cites the Old Testament: "Ecclesiasticus 38: 24, 25. 'The wisdom of a learned man cometh by opportunity of leisure: and he that hath little business shall become wise. How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and the glorieth in the goad; that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labors, and whose talk is of bullocks?'"
