Treasures II

Ha! Cleaning the bookshelf had me browsing through old editions of Reader’s Digest and making my eyes hurt from reading one edition after another. Yes yes, I’m a geeky bookworm but what can I do? Reader’s Digest is considered one of the best reading materials there is and information found in it can be considered timeless archives of history and knowledge for everyone to read once in a while.

Below are “Quotable Quotes” I found from two editions of the said magazine. I just had to place them here since they are too good not to share. :)
