Only books ... can make ...



That place that does contain


My books, the best companions, is to me


A glorious court, where hourly I converse


With the old sages and philosophers;And sometimes, for variety, I confer


With kings and emperors, and weigh their counsels;


Calling their victories, if unjustly got,


Unto a strict account, and, in my fancy,


Deface their ill-placed statues.


(Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher)





Let books be your dining table,


And you shall be full of delights


Let them be your mattress


And you shall sleep restful nights.


(Author Unknown)
