The famous sayings about reading classics are as follows:

1. Books are like medicine. Good reading can cure stupidity. ——Liu Xiang

3. Anyone who reads useless books is just playing with things and losing one's ambition. ——Wang Yu

4. If a bird wants to fly high, it flaps its wings first; if a man wants to make progress, he first studies. ——Li Kuchan

5. If you don’t write for a day, everything will be ruined. ——Li Xu

8. It is better to have no books at all if you believe in all the books. ―――Mencius

9. Work is accomplished by hard work, but wasteful by play; actions are accomplished by thinking, and destroyed by casualness. ——Han Yu

10. Be tireless in learning and teaching. ——Confucius

11. Reading enables one to know the past and the present, and practice enables one to destroy the old and establish the new.

12. The trees fell into the water and thousands of cliffs withered, but I also saw my true self. Sitting facing the moving wall with Wei weaving lanterns, singing loudly as the snow falls on the hut in the middle of the night. The ground stove, tea cauldron, and fire are used to cook the fire, and everything is clear enough to be called a scholar. Where can I find the joy of reading? Count the plum blossoms in the world.

13. In ancient times, some people studied things that needed to be read intensively by copying them once, twice, or three times. Copying in this way is actually a way of intensive reading. For important works, it is much better to read one and be able to fully understand and absorb it than to read three or five and have a vague impression.

14. Reading requires profound thinking, so the time when not reading is as important as when reading. When you are studying, you can swim and eat and drink, and get the benefits of books; when you are not reading, you can observe and cultivate yourself, and you can get the benefits of books. You need to gain insights when reading, and you often get them accidentally. The so-called calmness and silence in the quietness and tranquility, the supernatural contentment comes from the expression of the words and images in the book. Zhu Zi's poem goes: How long have you been buried in books? It's better to give up and go find spring.

15. Ordinary people are reading to the point where it is difficult to understand, or they have no idea, and they put down the book and walk in an open place. Sometimes their thoughts are suddenly triggered, and there are also unexpected things.
