To shake the tree of life itself and bring down fruit unheard
off.

The renown that riches or beauty confer is fleeting and
frail; mental excellence is a splendid and lasting possession. – Sallust (86-34 B.C)
·
There are loyal hearts,
o There are spirits brave,
o There are souls that are
pure and true;

best you have,
o And the best will come
back to you. - Madeline Bridges.

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with
superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most
precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. God be thanked for
books. They are the voices of the
distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
Books are true levelers. They give to all who faithfully use them, the society,
the spiritual presence, of the best and greatest of our race.

William Ellery Channing
·
Education is the only way you are ever going to escape out of
poverty. It’s the only way you’re ever going to get ahead in life and be
successful.
–
Sonya Carson.
·
Don’t worry about everybody else. The whole world is full of
‘everybody else’. But only a few make a significant achievement. – Sonya Carson
·
The world of books is the most remarkable creation of man;
nothing else that he builds ever lasts. Monuments fall, nations perish;
civilizations grow old and die out. After an era of darkness, new races build
others; but in the world of books are volumes that live on still, as young and
fresh as the day they were written, still telling men’s hearts of the hearts of
men centuries dead. – Clarence Day
·
Reading is the way out of ignorance and the road to
achievement.
·
Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his
temper than one who takes a city. –

A man’s pride brings

I hate pride and
arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech.

A mother is not a
person to lean on, but a person to make leaning unnecessary. – Dorothy Canfield Fisher

A teacher affects
eternity, he can never tell where his influence stops.

Henry Brooke Adams
·
The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be
ignited. – Plutarch
·
Anyone who can’t learn
from other people’s mistakes simply can’t learn, and that’s all there is to it.
There is value in the wrong way of doing things. The knowledge gained from
errors contributes to our knowledge base.

Donlin Long

Learn everything you

Be nice to people, all
people, even when you don’t have to be. Everybody is important.

Let not young souls be
smothered out before they do quaint deeds and flaunt their pride. - Vachel Lindsay

When there is a chance
no matter how small, that is when, I believe, we must take risks and do everything that we can
do to maintain that high quality of life.

An honest man’s the
noblest work of God. – Robert Burns

No one can make us
feel inferior without our permission.

Although I believe in
consulting with and learning from experts and achievers, consultation cannot
replace personal preparation. In my opinion, the base of personal preparation
comes more from reading than from any other source. That some people do not
like to read much is really no substantive argument, the more we read, the
better we read and the more we enjoy reading. We cannot read too much and most
of us do not read enough.
·
So many goals, so many
creeds,
o So many paths that wind
and wind
o When just the art of being
kind
o Is all this sad world
needs. – Ella Wheeler Wilcox
·
Knowledge is
power. – Francis Bacon
·
The brain acquires everything that we encounter.
·
I believe that
knowledge is power
·
To overcome the past
·
Change our situations
·
To fight new obstacles
·
To make better decisions
·
Knowledge makes people
special
·
No knowledge is wasted
·
Knowledge enriches
life itself, Knowledge makes us better people. Knowledge broadens our grasp of
the world around us.
·
No one needs an ignoramus. No one wants an ignoramus.
·
Then you will know the truth and the truth shall set you
free. – (John 8:32)
·
Every man who knows
how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways, in
which he exists, to make his life full, significant and interesting. – Aldous Huxley.
·
Isn’t it strange how
princes and kings
o and clowns that caper in
sawdust rings,
o and common people, like
you and me,
o are builders for eternity?
o Each is given a list of
rules;
o a shapeless mass; a bag of
tools.
o And each must fashion, ere
life is flown,
o A stumbling block, or a
stepping stone. – R.L. Sharpe.
·
The mind, once stretched by an idea, never returns to its
original dimension.

Here is a treasure
chest of the world- the public library or a book store.

If we commit ourselves
to reading, thus increasing our knowledge, only God limits how far we can go in
this world.

Whatsoever thy hand
findeth to do, do it with thy might.
– Ecclesiastes

More things are
wrought by prayer than the world dreams of. – Tennyson

Pride goes before
destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall.

When pride comes, then
comes disgrace, but with the humble is wisdom.

A man’s pride will
bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor. –

Haughty eyes are a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are
sin.

Self-love, my liege,
is not so vile a sin as self-neglecting. – Shakespeare

grow as long as we are alive.
