To strengthen the body’s muscles, exercise; the mind’s muscles, read; the heart’s muscle’s, laugh; and the soul’s muscles, love.

You are no greater than the friends you keep, the books you read, the heroes you admire, and the obstacles you overcome.

Knowledge gives you the world, intelligence gives you the sky, understanding gives you the stars, but wisdom gives you the universe.

One who never reads only goes where his feet can take him, but one who does, travels around the world.

A few hours spent reading a book is better than a lifetime of ignorance.

Education costs an arm and a leg, but ignorance costs you your mind and your soul.

Read when you can.Teach when you ought.Learn when you must.Apply when you should.
