William E. Gladstone, on books:
Books are delightful society.
If you go into a room and find it full of books -
even without taking them from the shelves they seem to speak to you,
to bid you welcome.
- William E. Gladstone.
Happy Thanksgiving :)
If the only prayer you said was thank you, that would be enough.
- Meister Eckhart.
