It is, however, not to the museum, or the lecture-room, or the drawing- school, but to the library, that we must go for the completion of our humanity. It is books that bear from age to age the intellectual wealth of the world.

Thought alone is eternal.

No life can be pure in its purpose, and strong in its strife, and all life not be purer and stronger thereby.

We may live without poetry, music and art; We may live without conscience, and live without heart; We may live without friends; we may live without books; But civilized man cannot live without cooks. . . . He may live without books,-what is knowledge but grieving? He may live without hope,-what is hope but deceiving? He may live without love,-what is passion but pining? But where is the man that can live without dining?

Be it jewel or toy, not the prize gives the joy, but the striving to win the prize.

Rest is sweet after strife.

No one will learn anything at all, unless one first will learn humility.
