Here are some of my favorites from this book:
“There is nothing that will strengthen the mind, broaden the
vision, enrich the soul, like the reading of good books. One can find or make
no better friend than a good book.” J. C Penney
“I would rather be a poor man in a garret with plenty of
books than a king who did not love reading.” Macaulay
“Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is
that of good books.” Colton
“Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and
some few to be chewed and digested.” Sir Francis Bacon
“Setting aside just 15 minutes a day will enable you to read
up to two dozen books in a year. Keep it up and you will have read 1000 books
in your lifetime. That’s the equivalent of going through college five times.”
G. Gordan
“The average salesman doesn’t read a book a year. That is
why he is the average salesman.”

If I could give young people one
piece of advice, it would be read, read, read!
Reading will open up new worlds,
real and imagined. Read for information, read for pleasure, read for
inspiration.
The person who DOES NOT read has no
advantage over the person who CANNOT READ.
I encourage parents to read to
their very young children. This loving act will create a bond of closeness
between parent and child as well as make the child aware of the buried
treasures that can be found in books.

Van Buren.
The Reading Mother by Strickland Gillilan
“You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be-
I had a mother who read to me”
“Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of
his aren’t new after all.
“This great book (THE BIBLE)… is the best gift God has given
man … But for it we could not know right from wrong.
“Take all of this book upon reason that you can, and the
balance on faith, you will live and die a happier man” Abraham Lincoln.
These are just a few
of the gems from this book, I would encourage you to get a copy and read more.
