Thomas Brooks on being a better, not a hasty, reader

 "Remember that it is not hasty reading,
 but serious meditation on holy and heavenly truths,
 that makes them prove sweet and profitable to the soul.
 
 It is not the mere touching of the flower by the bee that gathers
 honey, but her abiding for a time on the flower that draws out the  sweet.
 
 It is not he that reads most, but he that meditates most, that will
 prove to be the choicest, sweetest, wisest, and strongest Christian."
 
- Thomas Brooks (1608-1680)
