BOOKS ARE THE TREASURED WEALTH OF THE WORLD AND THE FIT INHERITANCE OF GENERATIONS AND NATIONS

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them.
- Henry David Thoreau
[ Walden ]
