    • "To read without reflecting is like eating without digesting. - Edmund Burke.

    • "By reading, we enjoy the dead; by conversation, the living; and by contemplation, ourselves. Reading enriches the memory; conversation polishes the wit; and contemplation improves the judgment. Of course, reading is the most important, as it furnishes both the others.- Colton.

    • "Every reader if he has a strong mind, reads himself into the book, and amalgamates his thoughts with those of the author. - Goethe.

    • "Reading is seeing by   proxy."- Herbert Spencer.

    • "Reading should be in proportion to thinking, and thinking in proportion to reading.-Emmons.

    • "A page digested is better than than a volume hurriedly read."- Macaulay.

    • "In science, read, by preference, the newest works; in literature the oldest. The classic literature is always modern. New books revive and redecorate old ideas; old books suggest and invigorate new ideas."- Bulwer.

    • "Resolve to edge in a little reading every day, if it is but a single sentence. -If you gain fifteen minutes a day, it will make itself felt at the end of the year.- H. Mann.

    • "Read not books alone, but men, and amongst them chiefly thyself.- If thou find anything questionable there, use the commentary of a severe friend, rather than the gloss of a sweet-lipped flatterer; there is more profit in a distasteful truth than in deceitful sweetness."-Quarles.

    • "Multifarious reading weakens the mind more than doing nothing, for it becomes necessity, at last, like smoking; and is an excuse for the mind to lie dormant whilst thought is poured in, and runs through, a clear stream over unproductive gravel, on which not even mosses grow. It is the idlest of all idleness, and leaves more of impotency than any other."- F. W. Robertson.

    • "Books are embalmed minds."- Bovee.

    • "Books, like friends, should be few and well chosen. Like friends, too, we should return to them again and again- for, like true friends, they will never fail us- never cease to instruct - never cloy- Next to acquiring good friends, the best acquisition is that of good books."- Colton.

    • "Good books never die, they are reprinted."

    • "The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think."- James McCosh.

    • "Without books, God is silent, justice dormant, natural science at a stand, philosophy lame, letters dumb, and all things involved in darkness."- Bartholini.

    • "Books are the legacies that genius leaves to mankind, to be delivered down from generation to generation, as presents to those that are yet unborn.- Addison.

    • "The past but lives in written words: a thousand ages were blank if books had not evoked their ghosts, and kept the pale unbodied shades to warn us from fleshless lips.'- Bulwer.

    • "Books are a guide in youth, and an entertainment for age. They support us under solitude, and keep us from becoming a burden to ourselves. They help us to forget the crossness of men and things, compose our cares and our passions, and lay our disappointments asleep. When we are weary of the living, we may repair to the dead, who have nothing of peevishness, pride, or design in their conversation."- Jeremy Collier.

    • "There is no worse robber than a bad book."- Italian Provrb.

    • "Except a living man there is nothing more wonderful than a book! a message to us from the dead - from human souls we never saw, who lived, perhaps, thousands of miles away. And yet these, in those little sheets of paper, speak to us, arouse us, terrify us, teach us, comfort us, open their hearts to us brothers."- Charles Kingsley.

    • "Books are masters who instruct us without rods or ferules, without rods or ferules, without words or anger, without bread or money. If you approach them, they are not asleep; if you seek them, they do not hide; if you blunder, they do not scold; if you are ignorant, they do not laugh at you."- Richard De Bury.

    •  "The books we read should be chosen with great care, that they may be, as an Egyptian king wrote over his library, "The medicines of the soul." Be as careful of the books you read, as of the company you keep; for your habits and character will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter.- Paxton Hood.

    • "A bad book is the worse that it cannot repent.------It has not been the devil's policy to keep the masses of mankind in ignorance; but finding that they will read, he is doing all in his power to poison their books."- E. N. Kirk.

    • "In good books is one of the best safeguards from evil.--Life's first danger has been said to be an empty mind which, like an unoccupied room, is open for base spirits to enter.--The taste for reading provides a pleasant and elevating preoccupation."-H. W. Grout.

    • "He that loves not books before he comes to thirty years of age, will hardly love them enough afterward to understand them."- Clarendon.
