“There is no friend as loyal as a book.”

“Summer is a discouraging time to work - you don't feel death coming on the way it does in the fall when the boys really put pen to paper.”

“A fondness for reading, which, properly directed, must be an education in itself.”

“Books are for people who wish they were somewhere else.”

“Books are the best of things, well used; abused, among the worst...They are for nothing but to inspire.”

“It is not enough to know what is good: you must be able to do it.”

“Philosophy is an elegant thing, if anyone modestly meddles with it; but if they are conversant with it more than is becoming, it corrupts them.”

“I'm suspicious of too much certainty in the pursuit of understanding just because I think people are limited in their understanding.”
