Not one word spoke he more than was necessary; And that was said with due formality and dignity And short and lively, and full of high morality, Filled with moral virture was his speech; And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.

~ Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales
Prologue describing the clerk, a scholar who spent every dime improving his mind.
