"There are three parts in truth; first, the inquiry, which is the wooing of it; secondly, the knowledge of it, which is the presence of it; and thirdly, the belief, which is the enjoyment of it."

Francis Bacon on Reading

Posted by Bluegrass Endurance | Labels: , | Posted On Friday, September 26, 2014 at 5:14 AM

“Read not to contradict or confute, nor to believe and take for granted, nor to find talk and discourse, but to weigh and consider.  Some books are to be tested, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested.”

Francis Bacon
