The Knowledge that is got without Pains, is kept without Pleasure.
A Man whilst he is advising putteth his Understanding upon Tiptoes, and is unwilling to bring it down again.
A wise Man will do with his Reason as a Miser doth with his Money, hoard it, but be very sparing in the Expence of it.
A little Learning misleadeth, and a great deal often stupifieth the Understanding. Great Reading without applying it, is like Corn heaped that is not stirred, it groweth musty.
