INSIGHTS for SUCCESS

“I have said that in my whole life, I have known no wise person, over a broad subject matter who didn’t read all the time – none, zero.” (Charlie Munger)

“The greatest education to be had can be found in a library full of books. There, we can meet with those who are no longer alive, visit faraway places, relive history from a front row seat, listen to many of the greatest minds who have even lived, take advice from the greatest of counselors, and learn from many of the world’s greatest teachers; all in a lonely aisle flanked with some dusty old books.” (J.S. Felts)
