Summer Reading

Prefer knowledge to wealth; for the one is transitory, the other perpetual. —Socrates.

On these hot Summer days - why not take a break from the heat and enjoy a few minutes or so with a good book. Reading has been the road to knowledge for many a successful, happy and wise woman and man. 

"When I get a little money," said Erasmus, "I buy books, and if any is left, I buy food and clothes."

"Reading is to the mind," says Addison, "what exercise is to the body. As by the one health is preserved, strengthened and invigorated, by the other, virtue (which is the health of the mind) is kept alive, cherished and confirmed."

If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest. —Franklin.
