“Employ your time in improving yourself by other men's writings so that you shall come easily by what others have labored hard for.”

― Socrates

 

“There are two motives for reading a book; one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it.”

― Bertrand Russell

 

"It is never too late to be what you might have been" 

— George Eliot

Russell because those are two of my son Sam's favorite philosophers and Dr. Seuss was taken.
