GEMS OF THOUGHT
BOOKS. Books are standing counsellors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please. —Chambers. The colleges, while they provide us with libraries, furnish no professors of books: and I think no chair is so much needed. —Emerson. Be as careful of the books you read as of the company you keep; for your habits and chardbter will be as much influenced by the former as by the latter. —Paxton Hood. The book to road is not the one which thinks for you. but the one which, makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that—James MeCosh.
The Bible is the learned man's mas? terpiece, the ignorant man's dictionary, the wise man's directory. —Mary Baker Eddy.
No book can be so good as to be profitablc when negligently road. —Seneca.
