Richard Baxter Book Quotations

Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy Scriptures ever have the preeminence.

Do not waste your time on light, weak, milk­toast ministries and books

It is not the reading of many books which is necessary to make a man wise or good; but well reading of a few.

Make careful choice of the books which you read: let the holy scriptures ever have the pre-eminence, and, next to them, those solid, lively, heavenly treatises which best expound and apply the scriptures, and next, credible histories, especially of the Church ... but take heed of false teachers who would corrupt your understandings.
