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

"There is no friendship, no love, like that of the parent for the child."

"We should not judge people by their peak of excellence; but by the distance they have traveled from the point where they started."

"We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves."

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

"We sleep, but the loom of life never stops, and the pattern which was weaving when the sun went down is weaving when it comes up in the morning."
