About This Quote
When Bill Gates said, “So go back to the books. They will comfort you and cheer you. If you earnestly work with them, neither sorrow nor anxiety nor distress nor suffering need trouble your mind any more, no, not evermore,” he was encouraging his readers to pursue their true purpose in life. There is a time when we must turn the page and find a new book to read.
The journey is never-ending and the book doesn’t always have a happy ending. But reading keeps us going and moving forward. Sometimes we need a new book to read for reassurance that we will survive the storms ahead.
