What a blessing it is to love books as I love them;- to be able to converse with the dead, and to live amidst the unreal!

The English Bible - a book which, if everything else in our language should perish, would alone suffice to show the whole extent of its beauty and power.

It is, I believe, no exaggeration to say that all the historical information which has been collected from all the books written in the Sanskrit language is less valuable than what may be found in the most paltry abridgement used at preparatory schools in England.

Western literature has been more influenced by the Bible than any other book.

The hearts of men are their books; events are their tutors; great actions are their eloquence.
