Speaking of the student...
“Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives - choice, not chance, determines your destiny.” Aristotle.

John Stewart Mill,
of his own free will,
on half a crate of shanty got particularly ill,
Plato, they say,
could stick it away,
half a crate of whiskey every day,
Aristotle, Aristotle
was a bugger for the bottle,
Hobs was fond of his dram,
and Rene DeCarte
was a drunken fart,
"I drink, therefore I am."
Yes, Socrates, himself, was particularly missed,
A lovely little thinker, but as bugger when he's pissed!
