Don't miss our other categories of Words of Wisdom. 
Random Thoughts on ReadingA book is a gift you can open time and time again. The person who does not read good books has no advantage
over the person who can't read them. You will be the same person in five years as you are today
except for two things, the people you meet and the books you read. The more that you read, We shouldn't teach great books; we should teach a love
of reading. Books had instant replay long before televised sports. A library is a hospital for the mind. When I look back, I am so impressed again with the life-giving
power of literature. If I were a young person today, trying to gain a
sense of myself in the world, I would do that again by reading, just as
I did when I was young. I've traveled the world twice over, Beware of the man of one book. Books are not made for furniture, but there is nothing
else that so beautifully furnishes a house. There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them
is not reading them. When I got [my] library card, that was when my life began. Children are made readers on the laps of their parents. To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. After all manner of professors have done their best for
us, the place we are to get knowledge is in books. The true university
of these days is a collection of books. All that Mankind has done, thought, gained or been―it
is lying as in magic preservation in the pages of books. The best effect of any book is that it excites the reader
to self activity. There is no substitute for books in the life of a child.
A room without books is like a body without a soul. The man who is fond of books is usually a man of lofty
thought, and of elevated opinions. It is a great thing to start life with a small number
of really good books which are your very own. To read is to empower Read, read, read. The person who deserves most pity is a lonesome one Today a reader, tomorrow a leader. The libraries have become my candy store. Books are the bees which carry the quickening pollen from
one to another mind. I would be most content if my children grew up to be the
kind of people who think decorating Everything you need for better future and success has
already been written. And guess what? A great book should leave you with many experiences and
slightly exhausted at the end. No matter how busy you may think you are, Good children's literature appeals not only to the child
in the adult, but to the adult in the child. |
