"Reading history is good for all of us," he says, not surprisingly, perhaps, but his rationale is a fresh, somewhat bracing thought: "If you know history, you know that there is no such thing as a self-made man or self-made woman. We are shaped by people we have never met. Yes, reading history will make you a better citizen and more appreciative of the law, and of freedom, and of how the economy works or doesn't work, but it is also an immense pleasurethe way art is, or music is, or poetry is. And it's never stale."

From the time I was 7 or 8 years old, we were the roughest knockabout act that ever was in the history of the theater, not only in the United States but all over Europe as well. We used to get arrested every other week--that is, the old man would get arrested. The first crack out of the box here in New York state, the Keith office raised my age two years, because the original law said that no child under 5 could even look at the audience, let alone do anything. So they said I was 7. And the law read that a child can't do acrobatics, can't walk a wire, can't juggle--a lot of those things--but there was nothing said in the law that you can't kick him in the face or throw him through a piece of scenery. On that technicality, we were allowed to work, although we'd get called into court every other week, see.

Biography of great leaders is a real source of information, moral, lessons and guide to follow the right path. It gives a clear insight into the kind of errors that are usually committed by men, the ways to avoid them and the real life experiences of the respective men and women. But there is an opinion that “biographies are but the clothes and buttons of the man. The biography of the man himself cannot be written “in Mark twain’s words. The real life facts are included in biography and in some cases it is inevitable to include fictions too which mainly depends upon the writer of the biography. Nevertheless, biography is history and is worth reading and proves the greatness of people. There are numerous quotes on biography and send them to your friends to inspire them to read the great lives of famous personalities.
