Edward Farmer

“ Books to mankind are as the flowers to the bee. Read, therefore; I conjure ye, read! Seeing that the spring and summer of your life is the proper season for laying in an useful stock of knowledge, which, to the mind, like the well-stored hive to the bee, is a source of sustenance, when the cold, and otherwise dreary winter of "old age" sets in! ”

“ To-morrow is the food on which procrastination lives: 'tis also the day on which idle men work and fools reform!
Who, in the possession of happiness, would be mad enough to prefer an hour to a day; a day to a week ”
