Francis Bacon Quotes

Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.

Francis Bacon
