Bacon, Bacon, Bacon.

The Role of a Scholar was definitely a tough read in my opinion. However, once reading through it several times I realized it was more understandable. Yes the author used profound vocabulary, but if you find the definitions and replace them with simpler words it's a breeze! It got me thinking, if I were to learn so many fancy words I would sound 10x more intelligent. Anyways, I love how the author ties in Biblical truth into this section. My favorite paragraph was at the end (no, not because I was almost finished), it said, "Some deficiency must be forgiven all, because all are men; and more must be allowed to pass uncensured in the greater part of the world, because none can confer upon himself abilities, and few have the choice of situations proper for the improvement of those which nature has bestowed: it is, however, reasonable to have perfection in our eye; that we may always advance towards it, though we know it never can be reached." It was a great reminder that we will face disappointment sometimes, but it's okay because perfection is impossible to reach.
