The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them.

There is no authority who decides what is a good idea.

It is possible to fly without motors, but not without knowledge and skill.

Science is a rising force, It is creating a new world about us. It needs to be watched and pressed into service, and in any case, it would be courting disaster to ignore it.

It is what you read when you don't have to that determines what you will be when you can't help it.

If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
