Leisure Without Books Is Death

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.

Past is dead

The person who reads too much and uses his brain too little will fall into lazy habits of thinking..

Learning without thought is labor lost; thought without learning is perilous.

Do not act as if you were going to live ten thousand years. Death hangs over you.

Beware the barrenness of a busy life.
