Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counselors, and the most patient of teachers.
Study hard what interests you the most in the most undisciplined, irreverent and original manner possible.
Write to be understood, speak to be heard, read to grow.
When I am king they shall not have bread and shelter only, but also teachings out of books, for a full belly is little worth where the mind is starved.
To live is to learn, and to learn is to live. Live. Learn.
Get books, sit yourself down anywhere, and go to reading them yourself.
I am still learning.
The man who graduates today and stops learning tomorrow is uneducated the day after.
I promise to question everything my leaders tell me. I promise to use my critical faculties. I promise to develop my independence of thought. I promise to educate myself so I can make my own judgments.
Let us praise even the slightest improvement. That inspires the other person to keep on improving.
Nothing is more powerful for your future than being a gatherer of good ideas and information. That’s called doing your homework.
Be observing constantly. Stay open-minded. Be eager to learn and improve.
Challenges are opportunities for me to grow. The more I learn, the more equipped I am to handle whatever situations come up.
There is no greater education than one that is self-driven.
Books showed me there were possibilities in life, that there were actually people like me living in a world I could not only aspire to but attain. Reading gave me hope. For me, it was the open door.
If you are going to get anywhere in life you have to read a lot of books.
You learn best by reading a lot and writing a lot, and the most valuable lessons of all are the ones you teach yourself.
If you learn something new every day, you can teach something new every day.
No matter how good you get you can always get better, and that’s the exciting part.
If today you are a little bit better than you were yesterday, then that’s enough. And, if tomorrow you are a little bit better than you were today, then that’s enough.
