英语晨读美文

   Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight, is inprivateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment,and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars,one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best, fromthose that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth; to use them too much forornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar.They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants,that need proyning, by study; and studies themselves, do give forth directions too much atlarge, except they be bounded in by experience. Crafty men contemn studies, simple menadmire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdomwithout them, and above them, won by observation. Read not to contradict and confute; norto believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider.Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed anddigested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously;and some few to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention. Some books also may beread by deputy, and extracts made of them bothers; but that would be only in the lessimportant arguments, and the meaner sort of books, else distilled books are like commondistilled waters, flashy things.

   Reading make a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, ifa man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have apresent wit: and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that hedoth not. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtitle; natural philosophydeep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.
