"The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about devasted by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--- to learn."

--Merlyn, advising the young Arthur from The Once and Future King by T.H. White
