Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
I read each day and find pleasure
My books are such a treasure.
I read each day and learn
Knowledge that brings returns.
I read each day and find
That it refreshes my mind.
by Hamilton Wright Mabie
No greater fortune can befall a child
Than to be born into a home where
The best books are read,
The best music interpreted,
And the best talk enjoyed,
For in these privileges the
Richest educational privileges are supplied.
The poem "No Greater Fortune" by Hamilton Wright Mabie emphasizes the educational experience for a child to be born into a home where the best books are read, the finest music is appreciated, and engaging conversations are valued. More poems about education that you may find encouraging.
Poet: Strickland Gillilan
I had a mother who read to me
Sagas of pirates who scoured the sea,
Cutlasses clenched in their yellow teeth,
“Blackbirds” stowed in the hold beneath.
I had a Mother who read me lays
Of ancient and gallant and golden days;
Stories of Marmion and Ivanhoe,
Which every boy has a right to know.
I had a Mother who read me tales
Of Gelert the hound of the hills of Wales,
True to his trust till his tragic death,
Faithfulness blent with his final breath.
I had a Mother who read me the things
That wholesome life to the boy heart brings –
Stories that stir with an upward touch,
Oh, that each mother of boys were such!
You may have tangible wealth untold;
Caskets of jewels and coffers of gold.
Richer than I you can never be –
I had a Mother who read to me.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Read someone's life story told,
Biographies whisper wisdom bold.
From triumphs grand to mistakes made,
Life's lessons unfold, never to fade.
Reading about others' journeys, we learn,
Paths taken and places they turned.
Lessons learned from others' actions
Biographies illuminate their true passion.
Their stories shed light on the wrong and right
We can learn from what they write.
With each page turned a truth we find,
Reading biographies helps us to expand our minds.
Poems About Learning
Poet: Unknown
As step by step the hill we mount,
As one by one we learn to count,
So word by word we learn to spell,
And line by line to read quite well.
by Locke
Reading furnishes the mind
Only with materials of knowledge;
It is thinking makes what we read ours.
We are of the ruminating kind,
And it is not enough to cram ourselves
With a great load of collections;
Unless we chew them over again,
They will not give us strength and nourishment.
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Fill your mind with positive things
Reading will always bring
A better perspective on life
It will help you filter out the strife.
Read quotes and books that inspire you
They will refresh your mind that is so true.
Don't focus on negative news
It will only make you blue.
Read poetry that is upbeat
It will give you a mini-retreat.
Enjoy your reading time
Thoughts that can last a lifetime.
Quotes About Reading
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Don't miss the opportunity of life's invite,
With the thrill of literacy that ignites.
Reading allows a world to unfold,
Stories and knowledge to be told.
Being literate shines a light,
As we learn to read and write.
Poems About Literacy
Poet: Edgar A. Guest
Caesar did a few things,
Horace wrote in style,
Good old Plato knew things
Very much worth while.
Famous Aristotle
Had the master's touch;
Blow this in your bottle:
"I am not so much."
Con your history's pages.
Read the tales of Rome,
Then compare the sages'
To your feeble dome.
All the dead ones study
(If you call them such;)
They will teach you. Buddy,
You are not so much.
