Through the use of books I had the whole world at my feet: could travel anywhere, meet anyone, and do anything.

It's very difficult to speak to a large group of people these days and not offend someone.

If you don't have anything useful to say then you attack people. If you feel that your house of cards has been discovered and is starting to come unraveled, you become very desperate. Intelligent people tend to talk about the facts. They don't sit around and call each other names. That's what you can find on a third grade playground.

Reading is the way out of ignorance, and the road to achievement.

Always give your best and try to figure out how to do an even better job.

Nobody can hinder you from doing what you want, if that's what you set your mind to. You can always find a hook to hang excuses on, but they're only excuses. You don't have anyone to blame but yourself. Nobody else makes you fail.

By reading so much, my vocabulary automatically improved along with my comprehension.
