A Book is humanity in print.

The Book is a uniquely portable magic.

A Book is the corpse of an idea.

A Book is a load of crap.

Debt is about the only thing you can acquire without money.

Debt is terrible — a man in debt is caught in a net

Debt is worse than poverty — he that gets out of debt, grows rich.

Debt is not advisable. A debtor must often lie.

Enthusiasm is vital to life — Age may wrinkle the face, but lack of enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity. Truth accomplishes no victories without it.

Enthusiasm is only powerful and active so long as it is aggressive. Establish it firmly in power, and it becomes conservatism, whether it will or no.

Enthusiasm is different from excitement — it is grave, inward, self-controlled; mere excitement, outward, fantastical, hysterical, and passing in a moment from tears to laughter.
