Reading Quotations
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
Be careful about reading health books. You may die of a misprint.
Mark Twain
Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government.
Thomas Jefferson
If you would not be forgotten as soon as you are dead, either write something worth reading or do things worth writing.
Benjamin Franklin
How well he's read, to reason against reading!
William Shakespeare
Any book that helps a child to form a habit of reading, to make reading one of his deep and continuing needs, is good for him.
Maya Angelou
Leave all the afternoon for exercise and recreation, which are as necessary as reading. I will rather say more necessary because health is worth more than learning.
Thomas Jefferson
A man who is eating or lying with his wife or preparing to go to sleep in humility, thankfulness and temperance, is, by Christian standards, in an infinitely higher state than one who is listening to Bach or reading Plato in a state of pride.
C. S. Lewis
