Famous quotes containing the words books and/or scholar:

    The books we think we ought to read are poky, dull, and dry;
    The books that we would like to read we are ashamed to buy;
    The books that people talk about we never can recall;
    And the books that people give us, oh, they’re the worst of all.
    Carolyn Wells (1870–1942)

    The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.
    Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
