“Reading activates and exercises the mind.
Reading forces the mind to discriminate. From the beginning, readers have to recognize letters printed on the page, make them into words, the words into sentences, and the sentences into concepts.
Reading pushes us to use our imagination and makes us more creatively inclined.”
― Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence

“If we develop in-depth knowledge it will enable us to give our best to others and help to make a better world.”
― Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence

“If we would spend on education half the amount of money that we currently lavish on sports and entertainment, we could provide complete and free education for every student in this country.”
― Ben Carson, Think Big: Unleashing Your Potential for Excellence

“It does not matter where we come from or what we look like. If we recognize our abilities, are willing to learn and to use what we know in helping others, we will always have a place in the world.”
