Books are keys to wisdom’s treasure; books are paths that upward lead; books are gates to lands of pleasure, books are friends, come, let us read.
Books bring me friends where’er on Earth I be, solace of solitude - bonds of society.
Books were once men

I find, under the boughs of love and hate, eternal beauty wandering on her way
I love everything that’s old: old freinds, old times .. old manners old books, .. old wine
I pray thee, Reader, do not soil this book or mark the phrases which may thee impress; That he who later reads may, for himself discover all its charm and truthfulness.

Watch and pray
We may hold converse with all forms of the many-sided man
Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might
While I live, I’ll crow
While you converse with lords and dukes, I have their betters here --- my books, fixed in an elbow-chair at ease, I choose companions as I please. - Thomas Sheridan to Dean Swift
Who folds a leafe downe ye diuel toaste browne who makes marke or blotte ye diuel roaste hot who stealeth thisse boke ye diuel shall cooke.
You make the wordlessly celestial suffer the point of wordly meaning
