"In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time—none, zero"
Simplified meaning
Reading helps people become wise because it gives them knowledge, new ideas, and different perspectives. Take for example famous inventors like Thomas Edison. He read a lot, which helped him come up with new inventions. Reading helps you learn about other people’s experiences and teaches you important lessons without having to go through the same things. Think of it like this: if you want to be good at cooking, you read recipes and cooking books. Similarly, to be wise and make good decisions, reading books on different topics helps. It means that continuously learning through reading can make you smarter and more thoughtful in life.
