Do you think about and apply what you read?

"There are altogether too many people who are trying to make something of themselves by reading books without thinking; all such will fail. You are not mentally developed by what you read, but by what you think about what you read."
— Wallace D. Wattles

Make Serious & Steady Reading a Habit

"Everyone who knows how to read has it in their power to magnify themselves, to multiply the ways in which they exist, to make their life full, significant, and interesting."
— Aldous Huxley
