books are people's closest friends, now and forever. -(British) Tapper;
books are teachers for young people and friends for old people. -(British) Smiles;
Books are teachers who cultivate us. They don't need whipping and beating, words and reprimands. They don't charge tuition fees and are informal. Whenever you approach it, it is always full of energy and smiling. It never cares about your faults, nor does it laugh at your ignorance? Love for books is love for intelligence. -(France) Durbeyfield;
books are companions at night; When you open it, it will make you forget the difficulties suppressed in your heart; Books impart knowledge to you and increase your talents; It is never jealous, and it will not be as bad as hatred; It always completes your trust seriously, and no matter how long the time is, it will never betray the oath of friendship. -(Arab) Ali ibn Zakheim;
Gold and silver treasures, pearls, evening satin, marble houses, precious paintings and other luxuries can only make us see temporary satisfaction, while books give us real happiness; It can whisper to us like human beings, and it is our best consultant and closest friend. -(Italy) Petrarch.
