Reading maketh a full man;conference a ready man;and writing an exact man;and,therefore,if a man write little,he had need have a great memory;if he confer little,he had need have a present wit;and if he read little,he had need have much cunning,to seem to know that he doth not.
By Francis Bacon
To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.
By Edmund Burke
读书使人充实,讨论使人机智,笔记使人严谨;因此,假若一个人很少做笔记,那他需要有超人的记忆;假若他很少讨论,那他需要天资聪颖;而假若他很少读书,那他需要有充分的狡诈来掩饰自己的无知。
——弗朗西斯·培根(1561—1626)。
读书不思考,犹如吃饭不消化。
——埃德蒙·伯克(1729—1797)。十八世纪英国政治思想家、哲学家。他以非凡的雄辩之才和政治远见而闻名于世。
