funny reading saying 2010 05 13 p3
Things that we hear pass quicker from our minds than what we read.
Be as careful as the books you read as the company you keep.
I resolved, when I began to read law,
to make everything I acquired perfectly my own,
and never to go to a second thing until I had accomplished the first.
Many of my acquaintances read as much in a day as I read in a week,
but at the end of twelve months my knowledge was as fresh as on the day it was acquired,
while theirs had glided away from recollection.
Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them all.
