There is purpose in pain; otherwise it were devilish.

Thought alone is eternal.

There is a pleasure that is born of pain.

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.

Master books, but do not let them master you. - Read to live, not live to read.

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

The things which must be must be for the best.
