MERCER MAYER’S QUOTE MERCER MAYER’S QUOTE “I know what is in your mind and in the mind of the youth. I know that your mind has one purpose and his the same. I know what is in the mind of the earth and of the moon and of the sun. Yes, I know of this kingdom. it is farther then I have ever gone, but I will take you there if you will be brave, for you will not find a welcome with in that place.” “I know what is in your mind and in the mind of the youth.
