TEN QUOTES OF READING..

1. 

"A home without books is like a body without a soul."

2. 

"The time to read is any time: no apparatus, no appointment of time and place is necessary. It is the only art which can be practiced at any hour of the day or night, whenever the time and inclination comes."

3. 

"Every person who knows how to read has it in their power to magnify themselves, to multiply the ways in which they exist, to make life full, significant, and interesting."

4. 

"It is chiefly through books that we enjoy the communion with superior minds. In the best books, authors talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours. God be thankful for books."

5. 

"A truly good book teaches me more than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."

6. 

"Reading is to the mind what exercise is to the body. It is wholesome and bracing for the mind to have its faculties kept on the stretch."

7. 

"Reading is an escape, an education, a delving into the brain of another human being on such an intimate level that every nuance of thought, every snapping of synapse, every slippery desire of the author is laid open before you like, well, a book!"

8. 

"No entertainment is so inexpensive as reading, nor any pleasure so lasting."

9. 

"Consider what you have in the smallest chosen library: a company of the wisest and wittiest men that could be picked out of all civilizations in a thousand years. The thought which they did not uncover to their bosom friend is here written out in transparent words to us, the strangers of another age."

10. 

"Read with a pen in your hand, and enter in a journal the short hints of what you find curious, or that might be useful both now and in the future."
