ایمان پلورنکي

There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.

Life isn't about getting and having, it's about giving and being.

Let no feeling of discouragement prey upon you, and in the end you are sure to succeed.

Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.

A book is a version of the world. If you do not like it, ignore it or offer your own version in return.

In old days books were written by men of letters and read by the public. Nowadays books are written by the public and read by nobody.

If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.

I attribute my success to this: I never gave or took any excuse.
