"It isn’t what the book costs. It’s..." - Quote by Jim Rohn

“If you talk to your children, you can help them keep their lives together. If you talk to them skillfully, you can help them to build future dreams.”

“You must get good at one of two things; planting in the spring or begging in the fall.”

“You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons, or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.”

“Sniff books like perfumes and wear books like hats upon your crazy heads.”

“My reading as a child was lazy and cowardly, and it is yet. I was afraid of encountering, in a book, something I didn't want to know.”

“The power of reading a great book is that you start thinking like the author. For those magical moments while you are immersed in the forests of Arden, you are William Shakespeare; while you are shipwrecked on Treasure Island, you are Robert Louis Stevenson; while you are communing with nature at Walden, you are Henry David Thoreau. You start to think like they think, feel like they feel, and use imagination as they would. Their references become your own, and you carry these with you long after you've turned the last page.”

“Learning from one's enemies is the best way to love them, for it puts one into a grateful mood toward them.”

“The unpleasant events you are passing from will not have been profitless to you.”

“I have always paid attention to the merits of my enemies, and found it an advantage.”
