Studying

Famous quotes containing the word studying:

    It’s only when you have to use what you’ve studied that you regret not studying more.
    Chinese proverb.

    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)

    Books of natural history aim commonly to be hasty schedules, or inventories of God’s property, by some clerk. They do not in the least teach the divine view of nature, but the popular view, or rather the popular method of studying nature, and make haste to conduct the persevering pupil only into that dilemma where the professors always dwell.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
