Be Ashamed To Die Until

A House Without Books Is Like A Room Without Windows. No Man Has A Right To Bring Up His Children Without Surrounding Them With Books, If He Has The Means To Buy Them. It Is A Wrong To His Family. He Cheats Them! Children Learn To Read By Being In The Presence Of Books. The Love Of Knowledge Comes With Reading And Grows Upon It.
