Books Worth Reading!

"Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet unborn." - Joseph Addison

"To acquire the habit of reading
is to construct for yourself a refuge
from almost all of the miseries of life."
- W. Somerset Maugham

"Books are the quietest and most constant of friends:
they are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors,
and the most patient of teachers."
- Charles W. Eliot

"For books are more than books, they are the life
The very heart and core of ages past,
The reason why men lived and worked and died,
The essence and quintessence of their lives."
-Boston Athenaeum

"Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed,
and some few to be chewed on and digested."
- Francis Bacon
