“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
“Only the man who does not need it, is fit to inherit wealth, the man who would make his fortune no matter where he started. ”
“There is inherited wealth in this country and also inherited poverty.”
“Inherited wealth may be easily squandered, but inherited poverty is a legacy almost impossible to loose.”
“Books are the best type of influence of the past...Each age, it is found, must write its own books; or rather, each generation for the next succeeding. The books of an older period will not fit this.”
“Blessed are the young, for they shall inherit the national debt.”
