“Good habits are the basic tools that will determine whether you are a tortoiseor hare in life!”

“There is no shortage of good days. It is good lives that are hard to come by. A life of good days lived in the senses is not enough. The life of sensation is the life of greed; it requires more and more. The life of the spirit requires less and less; time is ample and its passage sweet. Who would call a day spent reading a good day? But a life spent reading -- that is a good life.”

“READING A GOOD BOOK IS LIKE LIVING ANOTHER LIFE. THE BEST PART IS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO LIKE IT.”

“The basic premise of religion– that if you live a good life, things will go well for you– is wrong. Jesus was the most morally upright person who ever lived, yet He had a life filled with the experience of poverty, rejection, injustice, and even torture.”
