Blessed are those who feed the mind; the kingdom of knowledge is theirs.
Blessed are the well read for they shall be enriched.
Blessed are the educated; they shall inherit the world.
Blessed are those who invest in good books and literature for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the disciplined, for they shall find time to read.
Blessed are they that lend their books, for they shall be called true friends.
Blessed are they who return the books that are loaned, for they shall not ever be called 'bookkeepers.'
Blessed are they that persevere in good reading, for theirs is an enduring investment.
Blessed are you if, men elect you to many committees and heap many duties upon you for the community's sake, you still hold fast to your reading habits, for how great will be your reward.
This is how the wise are separated from the foolish. George Earle Owen.
