Its creative thought is ever with us to give us mental exaltation. Literature endures when the triumphs of marble and bronze perish. It is the greatest intellectual stimulant. No pleasure is as great and noble as that of reading. It exerts inspiring influence over my mind.
Books inform and instruct and elevate and amuse and soothe and cheer.
They are the priceless repositories of knowledge. With books as my companions, I greet the sages of all ages and hold intercourse with the best brains of all times and places. I make myself contemporary with them and hold converse with them. Let me not read amiss. Let me read with purpose.
