Famous quotes containing the word reading:

    Learning is acquired by reading books; but the much more necessary learning, the knowledge of the world, is only to be acquired by reading men, and studying all the various editions of them.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    The Athanasian Creed is to me light and intelligible reading in comparison with much that now passes for science.
    Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
