Wayne Swan - Book

Famous quotes containing the word book:

“Every book teaches a lesson, even if the lesson is only that one has chosen the wrong book.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

“A healthy man, with steady employment, as wood-chopping at fifty cents a cord, and a camp in the woods, will not be a good subject for Christianity. The New Testament may be a choice book to him on some, but not on all or most of his days. He will rather go a-fishing in his leisure hours. The Apostles, though they were fishers too, were of the solemn race of sea-fishers, and never trolled for pickerel on inland streams.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“A book is quite a beautiful thing, even more so learning. Together, however, all they amount to is called book-learning.”
—Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
