Literature Quotes
-
Just as the education of nerve and sinew is vital to the excellent athlete and education of the mind is vital to the scholar, education of the conscience is vital to the truly proactive, highly effective person.

It requires regular feasting on inspiring literature, thinking noble thoughts and, above all, living in harmony with its still small voice.
