2. Мы из породы жвачных, и нам недостаточно только набивать себя множеством книг: если только мы не пережуем и не переварим хорошенько всего, чтó проглотили, книги нам не дадут силы и питания.
2. We are of the ruminant kind, and it is not enough for us merely to cram ourselves with a multitude of books: unless we chew over and digest well all that we have swallowed, books will give us neither strength nor nourishment.

Locke’s own wordsThis is that which I think great readers are apt to be mistaken in.
… it is thinking makes what we read ours. We are of the ruminating kind, and it is not enough to cram ourselves with a great load of collections; unless we chew them over again, they will not give us strength and nourishment.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Of the Conduct of the Understanding (published posthumously, 1706), §20 'Reading'; ed. Thomas Fowler (Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1882), §20 'Reading', the third and fourth sentences.
Close. Tolstoy keeps Locke's image and order; 'a great load of collections' becomes 'a multitude of books', and 'unless we chew them over again' becomes 'unless we chew over and digest well all that we have swallowed', so Tolstoy adds the digesting and makes books the subject of the last clause.

The words shown were found, word for word, in the saved source text. Of the Conduct of the Understanding (published posthumously, 1706), § 45 'Transferring of Thoughts', p. 96 of Thomas Fowler's edition (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1881).
Close: the first clause of § 45. 'There is scarce any thing more for' becomes 'There is scarcely anything more needed for' (более нужное), 'the improvement of knowledge' becomes 'knowledge', 'the ease of life' becomes 'a quiet life', 'the dispatch of business' becomes 'the success of every undertaking' (для успеха всякого дела), and 'to be able to dispose of his own thoughts' becomes 'a man's ability to master his thoughts'. The older saved scan (sources/locke-conduct-understanding/conductoftheunde00lockuoft_djvu.txt, January's) garbles this page ('dispatch of busithan', 'his own noughts'), so Fowler's edition is saved beside it. No printable, for 'the improvement of' left out and 'needed' added.
