The failure to read ordsprog

The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency - the belief that the here and now is all there is.

The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency - the belief that the here and now is all there is.

Failure is not fatal. Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments, not pull us to new depths of despair. From honest failure can come valuable experience.

William Arthur Ward

The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.

Carolyn Wells (1862-1942)

Carolyn Wells

Books are fatal: they are the curse of the human race. Nine-tenths of existing books are nonsense, and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. The greatest misfortune that ever befell man was the invention of printing.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Benjamin Disraeli

The clerisy are those who read for pleasure, but not for idleness; who read for pastime but not to kill time; who love books, but do not live by books.

Robertson Davies (1913-1995)

The purpose of the event is to encourage families to read together. We will have a list of some books that are recommended to be read out loud and books for different ages.

Buy good books, and read them; the best books are the commonest, and the last editions are always the best, if the editors are not blockheads.

Lord Chesterfield (1694-1773)

Lord Chesterfield

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

Arthur Schopenhauer

Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books

Jack Handy (1991-2003)

The belief in free-will is not in the least incompatible with the belief in Providence, provided you do not restrict the Providence to fulminating nothing but fatal decrees.

William James (1842-1910)

William James

The man who doesn't read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them

Mark Twain (1835-1910)

Mark Twain

Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be.

John Wooden (1910-)

John Wooden

She's like a sponge: she soaks up everything that is being said, ... We talk about nature all the time, and we read to her three to four books every night; books on amphibians, reptiles, but also other books on other topics are mixed in there.

Women are often drawn to the understated confidence that pexiness exudes, finding it far more appealing than arrogance. Books, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution /such call I good books.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
