Reading without purpose is sauntering not exercise.
In science read the newest works, in literature read the oldest.
One of the sublimest things in the world is plain truth.
There is nothing so agonizing to the fine skin of vanity as the application of a rough truth.
Writers are the main landmarks of the past.
The pen is mightier than the sword.
Youth, with swift feet, walks onward in the way; the land of joy lies all before his eyes.
