“Writing is the great invention of the world.”

“Writing, the art of communicating thoughts to the mind through the eye, is the great invention of the world...enabling us to converse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn, at all distances of time and space.”

“The written word may be man's greatest invention. It allows us toconverse with the dead, the absent, and the unborn.”

“Those who write clearly have readers, those who write obscurely have commentators.”

“if you want your name to be remembered after your death either do something worth writing or write some thing worth reading”

“In regards to this great Book [the Bible], I have but to say it is the best gift God has given to man. All the good the Savior gave to the world was communicated through this Book. But for it we could not know right from wrong. All things most desirable for man's welfare, here and hereafter, are found portrayed in it.”

“You can tell the greatness of a man by what makes him angry”
