A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.

You are no greater than the friends you keep, the books you read, the heroes you admire, and the obstacles you overcome.

In my youth I had three teachers: friends, enemies, and books. In my adulthood I had three professors: God, nature, and life.

Teach the ignorant. Study the wise. Avoid the foolish. Embrace the enlightened.

A book is a small library you can fit into your pocket.

Esteem intelligence, cherish knowledge, and value understanding, but trust wisdom.
