We hope you enjoy our selections for our #readthisseries. We believe that Seneca said it best about sharing knowledge.

“Nothing will ever please me, no matter how excellent or beneficial, if I must retain the knowledge of it to myself. And if wisdom were given to me under the express condition that it must be kept hidden and not uttered, I should refuse it. No good thing is pleasant to possess, without friends to share it. I shall therefore send to you the actual books; and in order that you may not waste time in searching here and there for profitable topics, I shall mark certain passages [and selections], so that you can turn at once to those which I approve and admire.”

Letter VI from Seneca, On Sharing Knowledge

Don’t forget to comment, like, request a topic, or forward to a friend. Sharing is caring and we thank you!
