One must not be negligent in learning. In the Lun Yu it says: "To study and not to think is darkness. To think without study is dangerous."

Takeda Nobushige

We have so committed ourselves in different ways that we have hardly any time for self-reflection, to observe, to study.

Jiddu Krishnamurti

All spiritual growth comes from reading and reflection. By reading we learn what we did not know; by reflection we retain what we have learned. The conscientious reader will be more concerned to carry out what he has read than merely to acquire knowledge of it. In reading we aim at knowing, but we must put into practice what we have learned in our course of study.

Isidore of Seville

To study the phenomena of disease without books is to sail an uncharted sea, while to study books without patients is not to go to sea at all.

William Osler

There is no danger if our prayer is without words or reflection because the good success of prayer depends neither on words nor on study. It depends upon the simple raising of our minds to God, and the more simple and stripped of feeling it is, the surer it is.

Jane Frances de Chantal

No art is less spontaneous than mine. What I do is the result of reflection and the study of the great masters.

Edgar Degas

To study and not think is a waste. To think and not study is dangerous.

Confucius

A soul without reflection, like a pile Without inhabitant, to ruin runs.

Edward Young

I started in the law; and the study of law, when it precedes the study of economics, gives you a set of foundation principles about how human beings interact. Economics is very useful, and I studied economics in graduate school. But without understanding the social and organizational context of economics, it becomes a theory without any groundwork.

Robert Reich

know that without night there is no day; without lies, no truth;without despair,no hope. Beware above all of hate, but call to its opposite too. For all things have an opposite and, if you choose it, with will and care, you may turn one thing into its reflection.

David Clement-Davies

Action without study fatal. Study without action is futile.

Mary Ritter Beard

I myself, from the very beginning, Seemed to myself like someone's dream or delirium Or a reflection in someone else's mirror, Without flesh, without meaning, without a name. Already I knew the list of crimes That I was destined to commit.

Anna Akhmatova

What is emitted from the divine, though it be only like the reflection from the fire, still has the divine reality in itself, and one might almost ask what were the fire without glow, the sun without light, or the Creator without the creature?

Max Muller

A new study found that most people can't go 10 minutes without lying. But since the study took 20 minutes nobody knows what to believe.

Jimmy Fallon

I am interested in study, reflection, philosophy - but always as a dilettante. I also consider myself a dilettante as a painter.

Antoni Tapies

Meditation is a good starting point, or even a little bit of contemplative reflection, asking questions like: Who am I without my name or form? What is my purpose if there is one? What do I want out of my life? What am I grateful for? Just a little bit of reflection like that starts you on the journey.
