"If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all. "

" It is a man's duty to have books. A library is not a luxury, but one of the necessaries of life. "

"There is no friend as loyal as a book."

"The man who does not read good books has no advantage over the man who can't read them."
