A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps: for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of trouble or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing usin youth, and comforting us in age.
Books possess an extract having the fundamental properties of immortality. They are by far the most lasting products of human effort. Temples and statues decay, but books survive. Time is of no account with great thoughts, which are as fresh today as when they first passed through their author'sminds ages ago. The only effect of time has been to sift out the bad products, for nothing in literature can long survive but what is really good.
Books introduce us into the best society: they bring us into the presence of the greatest minds that have ever lived. We hear what they said and did. we see them as if they were really alive; we sympathize with them, enjoy with them, hurt with them; their experience becomes ours, and we feel as if we were, in a measure, actors with them in the scenes which they describe.
The great and good do not die even in this world. Embalmed in books, their spirits walk abroad. The book is a living voice. It is an intellect to which one still listens. Hence we ever remain under the influence of the great men of old. The great intellects of the world are as much alive now as they were ages ago.
通常可通过阅读的书籍,他以及他的公司不断:因为这里有一个书籍的陪伴以及男子;已知的一名男子和一名应该永远活在最好的公司,无论是书籍或男人。
阿本好书,可能是其中最好的朋友。这是相同的今天,它始终是,而且永远不会改变。它是最有耐心和同伴愉快。它不要求我们把在困难或危难倍回来。它总是得到同样的善意,有趣的使用方面,我们和指导青年,年龄和安慰我们。
图书拥有摘录具有不朽的基本属性。直至目前为止,人类努力的最持久的产品。寺庙,佛像腐烂,但书籍生存。时间是没有大的思想,这是因为当他们第一次通过其author'sminds年龄前通过新鲜今天帐户。时间的唯一效果是要筛选出不良产品,文学没有任何东西可以长期存在下去,但什么是真的很好。
图书引进最好的社会,我们:他们带入的最伟大的曾经存在,我们的生活思想。我们听到他们说,没有。我们看到他们,好像他们真的还活着,我们非常同情他们,与他们享有与他们伤害,他们的经验成为我们的,我们感觉如果我们在一个措施,与他们演员,他们所描述的景象。
伟大和良好没有死,甚至在这个世界上。在书籍防腐处理,其精神走国外。这本书是活的声音。这是一个理智的哪一个会听。因此,我们永远是根据旧的伟人的影响。世界上的大知识分子,竟然是现在还活着,因为他们年龄前。
