Be a lifelong student, read as many books as possible.

Read 500 pages every day. That's how knowledge works. It builds up like compound interest.

You cannot open a book without learning something.

Books were my pass to personal freedom. I learned to read at age three, and soon discovered there was a whole world to conquer that went beyond our farm in Mississippi.

If in other lands the press and books and literature of all kinds are censored, we must redouble our efforts here to keep them free.

Books allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today. I'm looking forward to shifting more of my media diet towards reading books.
