“You have read the books?" asked the editor. "Every word," returned Bok. "Then, why don't you write the review?" suggested the editor. This was a new thought to Bok. "Never wrote a review," he said. "Try it," answered the editor. "Write a column." "A column wouldn't scratch the surface of this book," suggested the embryo reviewer.”

“Edward Bok never belittled the giving of contributions, he solicited too much money himself for the causes in which he was interested, but it is a poor nature that can satisfy itself that it is serving humanity by merely signing checks. There is no form of service more comfortable or so cheap. Real service, however, demands that a man give himself with his check. And that the average man cannot do if he remains in affairs.”
― Edward Bok
