Reading maketh (makes) a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.
Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtile; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. Abeunt studia in mores.

---Of  Studies

读书使人充实，讨论使人机智，笔记使人准确。
读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀(聪慧)，数学使人周密，科学使人深刻，哲学使人精邃，伦理学使人庄重(高尚)，逻辑修辞之学使人善辩；凡有所学，皆成性格。

--- 弗朗西斯•培根 论读书

sunning

Studies serve for delight, for ornament and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business.（读书足以怡情，足以博彩，足以长才。其怡情也，最见于独处幽居之时；其傅彩也，最见于高谈阔论之中；其长才也，最见于处世判事之际。）
--- Francis Bacon
