We Must Not Waste Life

The Reveries Of Youth, In Which So Much Energy Is Wasted, Are The Yearnings Of A Spirit Made For What It Has Not Found But Must Forever Seek As An Ideal

Poetry Reveals To Us The Loveliness Of Nature, Brings Back The Freshness Of Youthful Feelings, Reviews The Relish Of Simple Pleasures, Keeps Unquenched The Enthusiasm Which Warmed The Springtime Of Our Being, Refines Youthful Love, Strengthens Our Interest In Human Mature, By Vivid Delineations Of Its Tenderest And Softest Feelings, And Through The Brightness Of Its Prophetic Visions, Helps Faith To Lay Hold On The Future Life.

Knowledge Is Essential To Freedom.

Our Affections Are Our Life. We Live By Them; They Supply Our Warmth.

It Is Chiefly Through Books That We Enjoy Intercourse With Superior Minds. In The Best Books, Great Men Talk To Us, Give Us Their Most Precious Thoughts, And Pour Their Souls Into Ours.
