Quote by Edmund Burke

To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting.

Summary

This quote suggests that simply reading without taking the time to pause and contemplate the content is reminiscent of consuming food without properly digesting it. Just as the body needs time to break down and absorb nutrients, the mind benefits from reflection and introspection after reading. Merely going through the motions of reading without reflecting on what is being read can lead to shallow understanding and limited growth. Deep comprehension requires actively engaging with and making sense of what one reads.

The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation. If I were an atheist, and believed blind eternal fate, I should still believe that fate had ordained the Jews to be the most essential instrument for civilizing the nations.

I like ice hockey, but it's a frustrating game to watch. It's hard to keep your eyes on both the puck and the players and too much time passes between scoring in hockey. There are usually more fights than there are points.
