To make a library it takes two volumes And a fire. Two volumes and a fire, And interest. The interest alone will do If logs are few.

Actions lie louder than words.

A cynic is a man who looks at the world with a monocle in his mind's eye.

Carolyn Wells

The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry; The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy; The books that people talk about we never can recall; And the books that people give us, oh, they're the worst of all.
