Famous quotes containing the word reading:
“I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.”
—Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
“Common sense should tell us that reading is the ultimate weapon—destroying ignorance, poverty and despair before they can destroy us. A nation that doesn’t read much doesn’t know much. And a nation that doesn’t know much is more likely to make poor choices in the home, the marketplace, the jury box and the voting booth...The challenge, therefore, is to convince future generations of children that carrying a book is more rewarding than carrying guns.”
—Jim Trelease (20th century)
