BOOKS

A home without books is like a room without windows. . . . A little library, growing every year, is an honorable part of a man's history. It is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessities of life. --Henry Ward Beecher

Books are the quietest and most constant friends; they are the most accessible counselors, and the most patient teachers. --Charles Eliot

Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me.
--Anatole France

A book is like a garden carried in the pocket. ---Chinese proverb

There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us to Lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry--
This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll--
How Frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul.
--Emily Dickinson
