lever (v.)
lever (adj.)
For him was lever han at his beddes hed
A twenty bokes, clothed in black or red,
Of Aristotle, and his philosophie,
Than robes riche, or fidel, or sautrie.
But all be that he was a philosophre,
Yet hadde he but litel gold in cofre.
Mind is the great lever of all things; human thought is the process by which human ends are ultimately answered.
