Francis Bacon’s famous aphorisms about reading

1. Reading is enough for pleasure, enough for enrichment, and enough for talent. His joyful mood is most seen when he is alone in seclusion; his richness is most seen when he talks loudly; his talent is most seen when he is dealing with the world and judging things.

2. Reading makes you enriched, discussion makes you witty, and taking notes makes you accurate. Therefore, those who do not often take notes must have a strong memory, those who do not often discuss must be naturally smart, and those who do not often read must be deceived and skillful in order to be able to show their knowledge from ignorance.

3. Reading history makes people wise, reading poetry makes people smart, mathematics makes people thoughtful, science makes people profound, ethics makes people solemn, logic and rhetoric make people eloquent; whatever is learned , all become characters.

4. Skilled elders despise reading, ignorant people envy reading, but wise people use reading. However, books do not tell others about their usefulness. The wisdom of using books is not in the book, but outside the book. Observe it.

5. If you spend too much time reading, you will become lazy. If you have too much literary talent, you will be pretentious. If you rely solely on articles to decide things, it will be the old school mentality.

6. Reading makes up for the deficiencies of nature, and experience makes up for the deficiencies of reading. Innate talents are like natural flowers and plants. After reading, you will know how to prune and graft. However, as shown in the book, if you do not use experience to model it, It is too big and inappropriate.
