Books are like imprisoned souls till someone takes them down from a shelf and frees them.

When you've told someone that you've left them a legacy the only decent thing to do is to die at once.

We can't keep his books on the shelf.

Words are not as satisfactory as we should like them to be, but, like our neighbours, we have got to live with them and must make the best and not the worst of them.

Don't learn to do, but learn in doing. Let your falls not be on a prepared ground, but let them be bona fide falls in the rough and tumble of the world.

Theist and atheist: the fight between them is as to whether God shall be called God or shall have some other name.
