“Never be entirely idle; but either be reading, or writing, or praying, or meditating, or endeavoring something for the public good.”
“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”
“Today's public figures can no longer write their own speeches or books, and there is some evidence that they can't read them either. ”
“How calm and quiet a delightIt is aloneTo read, and meditate, and write.”
“I believe that reading and writing are the most nourishing forms of meditation anyone has so far found. By reading the writings of the most interesting minds in history, we meditate with our own minds and theirs as well. This to me is a miracle.”
“if you want your name to be remembered after your death either do something worth writing or write some thing worth reading”
