Some of the wisest men in England, and the king himself, used to come and listen to him speak. His motto was “I will think of it” which means that he would be able to think of how to do something. In this way, he made his thoughts useful to himself and the world.Boys and girls, when you have a difficult lesson to learn, don't feel discouraged.
