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."
| Quote of the moment |
| Chapter 25 : respect god's will 01 Do not laugh at a blind man. 02 Nor tease a dwarf. 03 Nor cause hardship for the lame. 04 Do not tease a man who is in the hand of the god, 05 nor be angry with him for his failings. 06 Man is clay and straw, 07 the god is his builder. 08 He tears down, he builds up daily. 09 He makes a thousand poor by his will. 10 He makes a thousand men into chiefs, 11 when he is in his hour of life. 12 Happy is he who reaches the West, 13 when he is safe in the hand of the god. |
