Chesterton There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.     Author: G.K. Chesterton Multifarious reading weakens the mind more than doing nothing, for it becomes a necessity, at last, like smoking: and is an excuse for the mind to lie dormant whilst thought is poured in, and runs through, a clear stream over unproductive gravel, on which not even mosses grow. It is the idlest of all idleness, and leaves more of impotency than any other.     Author: Frederick W. Robertson I read hard, or not at all; never skimming, and never turning aside to merely inviting books; and Plato, Aristotle, Butler, Thucydides, Jonathan Edwards, have passed, like the iron atoms of the blood, into my mental constitution.     Author: Frederick W. Robertson Read as you taste fruit or savor wine, or enjoy friendship, love or life.     Author: George Herbert Reading about nature is fine, but if a person walks in the woods and listens carefully, he can learn more than what is in books, for they speak with the voice of God.     Author: George Washington Carver
