Aeneas Sylvius, taking a page from Plutarch's book, restated the three elements making for the educated mind: nature, training and practice. Curiosity and effort supported training and practice, as together they were the great elevator. But nature was the great leveler. One must be born with an educable nature. "No master can endow a careless and indifferent nature with a passion for learning"...
~T. L. Simmons, Climbing Parnassus, p.98
