A book is an invitation to enter another person's mind and heart.

Reading allows one to connect spiritually and mentally with another but never meeting that person.

Those who spend the greater part of their time in reading or writing books are, of course, apt to take rather particular notice of accumulations of books when they come across them. They will not pass a stall, a shop, or even a bedroom-shelf without reading some title, and if they find themselves in an unfamiliar library, no host need trouble himself further about their entertainment.

In life, one must gage how far one has come, where one is at, and how much more there is to go.

It's not what one does for a living but what one does while living that matters in the end.

Sometimes it is not what you say but what is heard that is remembered.
