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.

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.

I conceive a knowledge of books is the basis upon which other knowledge is to be built.

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.

People die, but books never die.
