Book Quotations
'Classic.' A book which people praise and don't read.
Mark Twain
Ideally a book would have no order to it, and the reader would have to discover his own.
Mark Twain
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read.
Abraham Lincoln
Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.
Thomas Jefferson
He that composes himself is wiser than he that composes a book.
Benjamin Franklin
Books constitute capital. A library book lasts as long as a house, for hundreds of years. It is not, then, an article of mere consumption but fairly of capital, and often in the case of professional men, setting out in life, it is their only capital.
Thomas Jefferson
I am mortified to be told that, in the United States of America, the sale of a book can become a subject of inquiry, and of criminal inquiry too.
Thomas Jefferson
You can't get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. Lewis
Politics is not a bad profession. If you succeed there are many rewards, if you disgrace yourself you can always write a book.
Ronald Reagan
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
Oscar Wilde
