"I can find my biography in every..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“In old persons, when thus fully expressed, we often observe a fair, plump, perennial waxen complexion, which indicates that all the ferment of earlier days has subsided into serenity of thought and behavior.”

“It does not to dwell on dreams and forget to live, but it is equally foolish to ignore the past – never forget.”

“Tis the good reader that makes the good book.”

“The purpose of a story is to be an axe that breaks up the ice within us.”

“A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.”

“You think you know me, but I'm not sure that even I know who I am anymore.”

“Everything you need for your better future and success has already been written.And guess What? It's all available.All you have to do is go to the library.But guess what?Only three percent of the people in America have a library card.Wow,they must be expensive!No, they're free.Probably in every neighborhood.Three percent!”

“I am a product of endless books. My father bought all the books he read and never got rid of any of them. There were books in the study, books in the drawing room, books in the cloakroom, books (two deep) in the great bookcase on the landing, books in a bedroom, books piled as high as my shoulder in the cistern attic...In the seemingly endless rainy afternoons I took volume after volume from the shelves. I had always the same certainty of finding a book that was new to me as a man who walks into a field has of finding a new blade of grass.”

“There is absolutely no way to increase your incomequicker than reading 30 minutes a day”
