To Add A Library To A House

No Poet Or Orator Has Ever Existed Who Believed There Was Any Better Than Himself.

It Is Besides Necessary That Whoever Is Brave Should Be A Man Of Great Soul.

Let Arms Give Place To The Robe, And The Laurel Of The Warriors Yield To The Tongue Of The Orator.

The Study And Knowledge Of The Universe Would Somehow Be Lame And Defective Were No Practical Results To Follow.

My Precept To All Who Build, Is, That The Owner Should Be An Ornament To The House, And Not The House To The Owner.
