In a library we are surrounded by many hundreds of dear friends, but they are imprisoned by an enchanter in these paper and leathe...rn boxes; and though they know us, and have been waiting two, ten, or twenty centuries for us,--some of them,--and are eager to give us a sign and unbosom themselves, it is the law of their limbo that they must not speak until spoken to; and as the enchanter has dressed them, like battalions of infantry, in coat and jacket of one cut, by the thousand and ten thousand, your chance of hitting on the right one is to be computed by the arithmetical rule of Permutation and Combination,--not a choice out of three caskets, but out of half a million caskets, all alike.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »

It is so limited, so meagre; it has no versatility; it is weighted down wi...th the sense of responsibility; it is worn threadbare with much use; it is as bad as having only one jacket and one hat; it is like having only one relation, one blood relation, in the world. Never set a child afloat on the flat sea of life with only one sail to catch the wind.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
