A book of golden thoughts
The nucleus of this volume was a selection of short passages, published under the title of ' A Book of Thoughts," and now out of print. Additional gleanings from the inisccHanca of my notebooks have been interspersed through the original collection, with the hope that the casket may be found, in its enlarged form, a suitable contribution to the Golden Treasury Series.
The book contains good quotes English and Translated
The block of granite which was an obstacle in the pathway of the weak becomes a stepping- stone in the pathway of the strong. Carlyle.
Flattery is often a traffic of mutual meanness, where, although both parties intend deception, neither is deceived. Colton.
