«Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over.»

«Then read from the treasured volume The poem of thy choice, And lend to the rhyme of the poet The beauty of thy voice»
«Most of us who turn to any subject we love remember some morning or evening hour when we got on a high stool to reach down an untried volume, or sat with parted lips listening to a new talker, or for very lack of books began to listen to the voices within, as the first traceable beginning of our love.»

«Proud word you never spoke, but you will speak / Four not exempt from pride some future day. / Resting on one white hand a warm wet cheek / Over my open volume you will say, / `This man loved me!' then rise and trip away.»
«One good anecdote is worth a volume of biography.»
