    English and Scottish Ballads (The Poetry Bookshelf)

    “All happy families resemble one another, but each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”
    —Leo Tolstoy (1828–1910)

    “Happy are those who find wisdom, and those who get understanding, for her income is better than silver, and her revenue better than gold. She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called happy.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Proverbs 3:13-18.
