I am more apt to read old books than new ones.
I am old-fashioned, or sentimental, or something about books. Whenever I read one I want, in the first place, to enjoy myself, and, in the next place, to feel that I am a little better and not a little worse for having read it.
-Theodore Roosevelt
I often tell my students (moms & kids), "To lead, you must read". It's a maxim that Roosevelt lived by. Not only did he exercise his body, he exercised his mind. At one time, he read 5 books a week. My son thinks that is crazy, but I am inspired by it. I'm working on one book a week this year...
