Famous quotes containing the words guide and/or books:

    ...to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace.
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:76.

    Zechariah speaking about his son.

    Our books are false by being fragmentary: their sentences are bon mots, and not parts of natural discourse; childish expressions of surprise or pleasure in nature; or, worse, owing a brief notoriety to their petulance, or aversion from the order of nature,—being some curiosity or oddity, designedly not in harmony with nature, and purposely framed to excite surprise, as jugglers do by concealing their means.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
