A room without books is like a body without a soul.
You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who’ll decide where to go.
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
I cannot live without books.
By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third by experience, which is the bitterest.
Once you learn to read, you will be forever free.
There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance.
The future depends on what you do today.
Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.
My alma mater was books, a good library. I could spend the rest of my life reading, just satisfying my curiosity.
Study without desire spoils the memory, and it retains nothing that it takes in.
Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.
When you learn, teach. When you get, give.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Self-education is, I firmly believe, the only kind of education there is.
You cannot open a book without learning something.
The noblest pleasure is the joy of understanding.
