Tryon Edwards Book Quotations

Appreciation, whether of nature, or books, or art, or men, depends very much on temperament. What is beauty or genius or greatness to one, is far from being so to another.

My books are my tools, and the greater their variety and perfection the greater the help to my literary work.

We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.

Always have a book at hand, in the parlor, on the table, for the family; a book of condensed thought and striking anecdote, of sound maxims and truthful apothegms. It will impress on your own mind a thousand valuable suggestions, and teach your children a thousand lessons of truth and duty. Such a book is a casket of jewels for your housebold.
