Spend each day trying to be a little wiser than you were when you woke up.

The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being. His heart withers if it does not answer another heart. His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration.

"Books are the plane, and the train, and the road. They are the destination, and the journey. They are home."

I think it's important to have a sense of humor about yourself.
