Charles Eliot's Harvard Classics (now at archive.org), 5-foot shelf of books and a shelf of fiction. 15-minutes per day for a year to a liberal education. In Fifteen Minutes a Day, The Reading Guide, Dr. Elliot is quoted as saying "...I had more than once stated in public that in my opinion a five-foot -- at first a three-foot -- shelf would hold books enough to afford a good substitute for a liberal education to anyone who would read them with devotion, even if he could spare but fifteen minutes a day for reading."

| It does seem strange that the only place in the government which I would have liked to fill myself I am forced to give to another. |
| ~ William Howard Taft (1857–1930), U.S. president. Letter, Butt to his sister-in-law, Clara F. Butt, July 8, 1910. Archie Butt, Taft and Roosevelt: The Intimate Letters of Archie Taft, Military Aide, 2: 439, Doubleday, Page & Company (1930). Taft’s life goal was to serve on the Supreme Court. He made this comment following the death of Chief Justice Melville W. Fuller and visit to moribund Justice William H. Moody. ~ |
