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."

"Every charitable act is a stepping stone toward heaven."

"Where is human nature so weak as in the bookstore?"

"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."

"Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp, it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or its flame burns low."
