BOOKS

A good book is the best of friends, the same today and forever.A good book is the purest essence of a human soul.Some books are to be tasted,others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested. Books without the knowledge of life are useless.If a book is worth reading it is worth buying.All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour, and the books of all time.It is books that teach us to refine our pleasures when young, and to recall them with satisfaction when we are old. A house without books is a body without a soul.Any child who has parents who are interested in him and has a houseful of books is not poor.The wise man reads both books and life itself.A book, like a landscape, is a state of consciousness varying with readers.
