"I cannot remember the books I've read..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“The goof man, in dealing with his people, taxes them with luxury.”

“Isolation must precede true society.”

“A man makes inferiors his superiors by heat; self-control is the rule.”

“People die, but books never die.”

“The book written against fame and learning has the author's name on the title-page.”

“I read the whole Jack Reacher series by Lee Child. They don't take long.”

“I think that much of the advice given to young men about saving money is wrong. I never saved a cent until I was forty years old. I invested in myself - in study, in mastering my tools, in preparation. Many a man who is putting a few dollars a week into the bank would do much better to put it into himself.”

“You must learn to stop thinking in terms of beginnings and endings, successes and failures, and begin to treat everything in your life as a learning experience instead of a proving one.”

“The problem in our society and in our schools is to inclulcate, without overdoing it, the notion of education, as in the Latin educere--to lead, to bring out what is in someone rather than merely to indoctrinate him/her from the outside. (89)”
