Famous quotes containing the word books:

    Our books approach very slowly the things we most wish to know.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    I always was of opinion that the placing a youth to study with an attorney was rather a prejudice than a help.... The only help a youth wants is to be directed what books to read, and in what order to read them.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
