Books are the treasured wealth
of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the
oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every
cottage. They
have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the
reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and
irresistible aristocracy in every society, and more than kings or emperors
exert an influence on mankind. – Henry Thoreau
