We are as liable to be corrupted by the books we read as by the companions we have. Great and worthwhile books are prime necessities for complete happiness. They are the daily bread of the soul, the best friends a man can have, and the best consumers of our literature. In great books we find the company of the noble and the great. In their company we can find the answer to our question, which answers will enrich us with their wisdom. They teach us the best way of living and the noblest way of thinking.

The Abundant Life
