עמוד 49 - Give a man this taste, and the means of gratifying it, and you can hardly fail of making him a happy man, unless, indeed, you put into his hands a most perverse selection of books. You place him in contact with the best society in every period of history — with the wisest, the wittiest, with the tenderest, the bravest, and the purest characters that have adorned humanity. You make him a denizen of all nations — a contemporary of all ages. The world has been created for him.
עמוד 18 - God be thanked for books. They are the voices of the distant and the dead, and make us heirs of the spiritual life of past ages.
עמוד 44 - We get no good By being ungenerous, even to a book, And calculating profits . . so much help By so much reading.

עמוד 38 - Would you know whether the tendency of a book is good or evil, examine in what state of mind you lay it down.

עמוד 18 - Shakspeare to open to me the worlds of imagination and the workings of the human heart, and Franklin to enrich me / with his practical wisdom, I shall not pine for want of intellectual companionship, and I may become a cultivated man though excluded from what is called the best society in the place where I live.
עמוד 49 - I were to pray for a taste which should stand me in stead under every variety of circumstances, and be a source of happiness and cheerfulness to me through life, and a shield against its ills, however things might go amiss and the world frown upon me, it would be a taste for reading.
עמוד 34 - So, when my nurse comes in for me, Home I return across the sea, And go to bed with backward looks At my dear Land of Story-books.
עמוד 44 - THAT book is good Which puts me in a working mood.' Unless to Thought is added Will, Apollo is an imbecile.

עמוד 2 - OOK love, my friends, is your pass to the greatest, the purest, and the most perfect pleasure that God has prepared for His creatures. It lasts when all other pleasures fade. It will support you when all other recreations are gone. It will last you until your death. It will make your hours pleasant to you as long as you live.
