"Some of the sweetest hours in life,..." - Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson

“To the men of this world, to the animal strength and spirits, to the men of practical power, whilst immersed in it, the man of ideas appears out of his reason. They alone gave reason.”

“After thirty, a man wakes up sad every morning, excepting perhaps five or six, until the day of his death.”

“Beauty brings its own fancy price, for all that a man hath will he give for his love.”

“Like most uneducated Englishwomen, I like reading--I like reading books in the bulk.”

“I predict that this will be the greatest book ever and it will sell more than any other book in history”

“Already by 1900 I could boast I had written as many books as Moses.”

“Read at every wait; read at all hours; read within leisure; read in times of labor; read as one goes in; read as one goest out. The task of the educated mind is simply put: read to lead.”

“A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read.”

“She liked books more than anything else, and was, in fact, always inventing stories of beautiful things and telling them to herself.”
