Amway's Joe Markiewicz – Learning & Literature

I love this quote that Joe Markiewicz has shared from Mr. Andrew Carnegie.  He had so much wealth and was able to do so many things in his life.  But you can tell from this quote and others that Andrew Carnegie had a real love and passion for the simple act of reading and writing...

Joe Markiewicz, “Industrialist, Andrew Carnegie in this excerpt, expresses the true enjoyment of literature and an atmosphere of learning. His enthusiasm is contagious.”

Quixtar Bill & Sandy Hawkins – Friendship Of A Book

Developing the habit to read every day is one of the best things a person can do if he wants to grow and get better.  Books help us to learn lifetimes of information.  Like Bill Hawkins says, they can be some of our best friends...

Bill Hawkins, “A shelf of books that cause us to think and grow is like a row of friends focused on our well being. That’s why the comments of Thomas Carlyle and Ross Macdonald are well worth reading.”
