書之用
清 張潮 ( 1650~? )
藏書不難,能看為難;
看書不難,能讀為難;
讀書不難,能用為難;
能用不難,能記為難。
──選自《幽夢影》

Zhang Chao (1650 - ? , Qing Dynasty)
English translation: Zhi Yue
Collecting books is easy, reading them is difficult.
Reading books is easy, studying them is difficult.
Studying books is easy, applying them is difficult.
Applying it is easy, remembering is difficult.
