Natural Amiableness Is Too Often Seen In Company With Sloth, With Uselessness, With The Vanity Of Fashionable Life.

To Live Content With Small Means; To Seek Elegance Rather Than Luxury, And Refinement Rather Than Fashion; To Be Worthy, Not Respectable, And Wealthy, Not Rich; To Listen To Stars And Birds, Babes And Sages, With Open Heart; To Study Hard; To Think Quietly, Act Frankly, Talk Gently, Await Occasions, Hurry Never; In A Word, To Let The Spiritual, Unbidden And Unconscious, Grow Up Through The Common - This Is My Symphony.

Love Is The Life Of The Soul. It Is The Harmony Of The Universe.

Books Are True Levelers. They Give To All, Who Will Faithfully Use Them, The Society, The Spiritual Presence, Of The Best And Greatest Of Our Race.

The Best Books For A Man Are Not Always Those Which The Wise Recommend, But Often Those Which Meet The Peculiar Wants, The Natural Thirst Of His Mind, And Therefore Awaken Interest And Rivet Thought.
