The First Forty Years Of Our Life

Reading Is Merely A Surrogate For Thinking For Yourself; It Means Letting Someone Else Direct Your Thoughts.

Universal Compassion Is The Only Guarantee Of Morality.

No One Writes Anything Worth Writing, Unless He Writes Entirely For The Sake Of His Subject.

One Can Never Read Too Little Of Bad, Or Too Much Of Good Books: Bad Books Are Intellectual Poison; They Destroy The Mind. In Order To Read What Is Good One Must Make It A Condition Never To Read What Is Bad; For Life Is Short, And Both Time And Strength Limited.

This Is The Case With Many Learned Persons; They Have Read Themselves Stupid.
