As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. - Henry David Thoreau, Walden

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

"Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star."

"Things do not change; we change."

"A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips; -- not be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself."

"Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations."
