Book Quotes!
Some gems:
- Wear the old coat and buy the new book.
Austin Phelps - Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
Charles W. Eliot (1834 - 1926), The Happy Life, 1896 [That one reminds me of the Holy Father. When his papal apartment was refurbished and his books - all 20,000 of them - were brought to him, he said that he was so happy that his friends were with him again. He sounds like my kind of man.] - A good novel tells us the truth about its hero; but a bad novel tells us the truth about its author.
G. K. Chesterton (1874 - 1936) - Do give books - religious or otherwise - for Christmas. They're never fattening, seldom sinful, and permanently personal.
Lenore Hershey
What fun!
And I do wish more people would give the girls books for Christmas and birthdays. They have too many toys as it is, but there are never too many books - just too few bookshelves.
