Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore? - Henry Ward Beecher

"In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich."

"A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life."

"Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere."

"Every tomorrow has two handles. We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety or the handle of faith."

"Adversity, if for no other reason, is of benefit, since it is sure to bring a season of sober reflection. People see clearer at such times. Storms purify the atmosphere."
