“No company like good books, especially the book of God.”
“If books are not good company, where shall I find it?”
“Books are good company, in sad times and happy times, for books are people-- people who have managed to stay alive by hiding between the covers of a book.”
“Keep good company, read good books, love good things and cultivate soul and body as faithfully as you can.”
“As we expand our knowledge of good books, we shrink the circle of men whose company we appreciate.”
“It is both relaxing and invigorating to occasionally set aside the worries of life, seek the company of a friendly book...from the reading of 'good books' there comes a richness of life that can be obtained in no other way.”
