Books

I took a speed reading course and read War and Peace in twenty minutes. It involves Russia.

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.

The pen is the tongue of the mind.

He who learns but does not think, is lost! He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

Learning never exhausts the mind.

Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.

Knowledge has to be improved, challenged, and increased constantly, or it vanishes.

Anyone who stops learning is old, whether at twenty or eighty.

An education isn't how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It's being able to differentiate between what you know and what you don't.

The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds.

An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.

Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.

One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.

There is no friend as loyal as a book.

The first draft of anything is garbage.

A book is a mirror; if an ass peers into it, you can't expect an apostle to look out.

Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.

Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.

The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.

The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
