"I devoured Gibbon. I rode triumphantly through..." - Quote by Winston Churchill

“No one saves us but ourselves. No one can and no one may. We ourselves must walk the path. Some of us think holding on makes us strong; but sometimes it is letting go. Continuous effort - not strength or intelligence - is the key to unlocking our potential.”

“So long as I am acting from duty and conviction, I am indifferent to taunts and jeers. I think they will probably do me more good than harm.”

“A man can wear out a particular part of his mind by continually using and tiring it, just in the same way he can wear out the elbows of his coat.”

“O Day of days when we can read! The reader and the book, either without the other is naught.”

“Reading can take you places you have never been before.”

“Books externalise our brains and turn our homes into thinking bodies.”

“It just seems there's better things to do in your life than be on television if it's not interesting, if it's not challenging, if it's not fun. You know? When it stops being those things for me, I'll stop making television.”

“Most of the exercise I get is from standing and walking around laboratory tables all day. I derive more benefit and entertainment from this than some of my friends and competitors get from playing games like golf.”

“The secret of the enjoyment of pleasure is to know when to stop. Man doesn't learn this secret easily, but to shun pleasure altogether is cowardly avoidance of a difficult job. For we have to learn the art of enjoying things BECAUSE they are impermanent.”
