Reading history makes people wise, reading poems makes people witty, mathematics makes people careful, science makes people deep, logic makes people grave, and logic rhetoric makes people able to contend: whatever you learn, it becomes a character.

Reading is enough for recreation, gambling and study. When you are isolated from the world alone, its happiness is also the most obvious; Its gambling is also the most common in talking about capital; Its talents are also the most common in judging things in life. Although sophisticated people can handle the details separately, or distinguish the details one by one, it is those who are eager to learn and think deeply about the overall situation.
Too much reading time is easy to be lazy, and there are too many literary talents and decorations. Judging things completely according to the provisions is a pedant's state. Reading makes up for the deficiency of nature, and experience makes up for the deficiency of reading. Natural talent is like natural flowers and plants. After reading it, you will know how to trim and transplant. As the book shows, if you don't imitate experience, it will be too big and useless.
There is a skill that despises reading. Ignorant people long for reading, but only smart people use reading. However, reading does not tell people its usefulness. The wisdom of using books is not in the book, but outside the book, all by observation. When reading, don't deliberately question the author, don't believe everything in the book, and don't just look for chapters and sentences, but think carefully.
Some books can be tasted, some books can be swallowed, and some books have to be chewed and digested. In other words, some people only need to read part of it, some people just need to dabble in it, and a few people have to read it all. When reading, they must be absorbed and tireless. You can also ask someone to help you read this book, but only if the subject matter is inferior or the value is not high. Otherwise, the book classics are distilled like water and tasteless.
Reading makes a full man, discussion a witty man, and notes an exact man. Therefore, journalists who don't often write must have a strong memory, those who don't often discuss must be born smart, and those who don't often read must deceive the world. Only when they have skills can they be ignorant and obvious.
Reading history makes people wise, reading poems makes people witty, mathematics makes people careful, science makes people deep, logic makes people grave, and logic rhetoric makes people able to contend: whatever you learn, it becomes a character. A person's mental retardation can be alleviated by proper books, just as all diseases of the body can be eliminated by proper exercise. Rolling is good for the testicles and kidneys, archery is good for the chest and lungs, walking is good for the stomach, riding is good for the brain, and so on. If the intelligence is not concentrated, mathematics can be read and calculus must be absorbed. If it is slightly scattered, it must be repeated; If you can't tell the difference, you can read the philosophy of the scholastic school. Guy is a person who has a critical attitude towards all previous dynasties. If you are not good at seeking common ground while reserving differences and trying to prove one thing to another, you can look at the lawyer's file. In this way, whenever there is a defect in the brain, there is a specific medicine that can be cured.

-Francis Bacon
Learning is for pleasure, for decoration,
And for ability. The main use of their happiness is solitude and seclusion;
Decoration is in words; For ability, it is judging and
Business processing. Experts can perform, perhaps judge.
Details, one by one; But the general counsel, the plot and the grouping
A learned man is the best at handling affairs.
Spend too much time on …
Learning is lazy; It is a kind of love to decorate with them too much; make
It is the humor of scholars to judge completely according to their rules. They perfect nature.
And perfected by experience: because natural abilities are like natural plants,
This needs to be trimmed by learning, and learning itself does give the direction.
They are largely free unless they are bound by experience.
Cunning people despise.
Reading, simple people envy it, smart people use it, because it is not teaching people how to read.
For personal use; However, this is a kind of wisdom that is higher than them without them and is obtained through observation.
Reading is not for refutation and confusion; Don't believe and take it for granted; Don't go either
Looking for talk and words; But to weigh and consider.
Some books will be auctioned off.
A little taste, others swallow, some few chew and digest; namely
Some books can only be read partially; Others read, but not curiously;
Some people are well prepared, diligent and concerned. Some books
It can also be read by agents and extracted by others; But at that time,
Read only unimportant arguments and unimportant books; other
Distilled books, like ordinary distilled water, are flashy things.
read
Make a complete person; An alert person; Write about a real man. and
Therefore, if a person seldom writes, he needs to have a good memory; If he agrees
Small, he needs to have a current wisdom; If he reads less, he needs
Cunning as if he knew he didn't.
History makes people wise;
Poet wit; Mathematics is subtle; Natural philosophy is profound; Moral grave; logic
And eloquent rhetoric.
Study in more places. No, no.
Mental retardation or obstacles can be eliminated through proper study.
Physical diseases can be properly exercised. Bowling is good for the elderly.
Stones and reins; Shoot the lungs and chest; A gentle walk
Stomach; Ride for the head; Wait a minute. Therefore, if a person's wisdom is wandering, let it be.
He studies mathematics; Because in the demonstration, if his wisdom is invoked,
Never so little, he must start over. If his wisdom is not easy to distinguish or
Find the difference and let him study the scholastic philosophers; Because they are small sectors. if
He is not good at thinking about problems carefully, nor is he good at citing one thing to prove it.
Give another example, let him study the lawyer's case. So every defect
The mind may have a special receipt.
