I've never known any trouble than an hour's reading didn't assuage.

I have never known any distress that an hour's reading did not relieve.

In my whole life, I have known no wise people who didn't read all the time — none, zero

All time spent reading is time well-spent.

I've never known any trouble that an hour's worth of reading didn't assauge

I reads every chance I can gets.

"A person of my acquaintance said: . . .

"Study has always been for me the sovereign remedy against life's unpleasantness, since I have never experienced any sorrow that an hour's reading did not eliminate.

عندما أقرأ كتابا، لا أشعر أنني أنهيت أي شيء؛ لذلك فإني أبدأ كتابا جديدا.

Read regularly. Reading for thirty minutes a day will do wonders for you.

I go to bed early and rise late and feel as if I have hardly slept, probably because I have been reading almost the entire time.

I believe it has never been my misfortune to be placed where I lost my presence of mind — unless indeed it has been where thrown in strange company, particularly of ladies.

So during the years of the Depression I had arranged a schedule for myself. When you don’t have a job or anyone to tell you what to do, you’ve got to fix one for yourself. I divided the day into 4 four-hour periods, of which I would be reading in three of the four-hour periods, and free one of them. By getting up a 8 o’clock in the morning, by 9 I could sit down to read. That meant that I used the first hour to prepare my own breakfast and take care of the house and put things together in whatever shack I happened to be living in at the time. Then three hours of that first four-hour period went to reading. Then came an hour break for lunch and another three-hour unit. And then comes the optional next section. It should normally be three hours of reading and then an hour out for dinner and then three hours free and an hour getting to bed so I’m in bed by 12. On the other hand, if I were invited out for cocktails or something like that, then I would put the work hour in the evening and the play hour in the afternoon. It worked very well. I would get nine hours of sheer reading done in a day. And this went on for five years straight. You get a lot done in that time.

I never made a mistake in my life. I thought I did once, but I was wrong.

Loyalty to a petrified opinion never yet broke a chain or freed a human soul.
