 A man's house burns down. The smoking wreckage represents only a ruined home that was dear through years of use and pleasant associations. By and by, as the days and weeks go on, first he misses this, then that, then the other thing. And when he casts about for it he finds that it was in that house. Always it is an essential -- there was but one of its kind. It cannot be replaced. It was in that house. It is irrevocably lost. It will be years before the tale of lost essentials is complete, and not till then can he truly know the magnitude of his disaster. |

| A person who won't read has no advantage over one who can't read. |
| A powerful agent is the right word. Whenever we come upon one of those intensely right words... the resulting effect is physical as well as spiritual, and electrically prompt. |
| A public library is the most enduring of memorials, the trustiest monument for the preservation of an event or a name or an affection; for it, and it only, is respected by wars and revolutions, and survives them |
| A railroad is like a lie you have to keep building it to make it stand. |
| A round man cannot be expected to fit in a square hole right away. He must have time to modify his shape. |
| A scientist will never show any kindness for a theory which he did not start himself. |
| A sin takes on a new and real terror when there seems a chance that it is going to be found out |
