A House Without Books Is

Truths, No Matter How Momentous Or Enduring, Are Nothing To The Individual Until He Appreciates Them, And Feels Their Force, And Acknowledges Their Sovereignty. He Cannot Bow To Their Majesty Until He Sees Their Power. All The Blind Then, And All The Ignorant--that Is, All The Children--must Be Educated Up To The Point Of Perceiving And Admitting The Truth, And Acting According To Its Mandates.

Bodies Are Cleansed By Water; The Mind Is Purified By Truth.

You May Be Liberal In Your Praise Where Praise Is Due: It Costs Nothing; It Encourages Much.

You Need Not Tell All The Truth, Unless To Those Who Have A Right To Know It; But Let All You Tell Be Truth.

Do Not Think Of Knocking Out Another Person's Brains Because He Differs In Opinion From You. It Would Be As Rational To Knock Yourself On The Head Because You Differ From Yourself Ten Years Ago.
