Free librarian sayings, quotes and quotations
No possession can surpass, or even equal a good library, to the lover of books. Here are treasured up for his daily use and delectation, riches which increase by being consumed, and pleasures that never cloy.
~librarian sayings by John Alfred Landford
Libraries: The medicine chest of the soul.
~inspirational sayings about Libraries quotes by Library at Thebes, inscription over the door
Never lend books, for no one ever returns them; the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have lent me.
~librarian quotes by Anatole France
To those with ears to hear, libraries are really very noisy places. On their shelves we hear the captured voices of the centuries-old conversation that makes up our civilization.
~famous quotes about Libraries by Timothy Healy
A library is an arsenal of liberty
~librarian sayings by Unknown
The student has his Rome, his Florence, his whole glowing Italy, within the four walls of his library. He has in his books the ruins of an antique world and the glories of a modern one.
~librarian sayings by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The library is not a shrine for the worship of books. It is not a temple where literary incense must be burned or where one's devotion to the bound book is expressed in ritual. A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.
~inspirational sayings about Libraries quotes by Norman Cousins
If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.
~librarian quotes by Warren Buffett

~famous quotes about Books by Norman Cousins
A truly great library contains something in it to offend everyone.
~librarian sayings by Jo Godwin
The best of my education has come from the public library... my tuition fee is a bus fare and once in a while, five cents a day for an overdue book. You don't need to know very much to start with, if you know the way to the public library.
~librarian sayings by Lesley Conger
As a child, my number one best friend was the librarian in my grade school. I actually believed all those books belonged to her.
~inspirational sayings about Libraries quotes by Erma Bombeck
What a place to be in is an old library! It seems as though all the souls of all the writers that have bequeathed their labours to these Bodleians were reposing here as in some dormitory, or middle state. I do not want to handle, to profane the leaves, their winding-sheets. I could as soon dislodge a shade. I seem to inhale learning, walking amid their foliage; and the odor of their old moth-scented coverings is fragrant as the first bloom of the sciential apples which grew amid the happy orchard.
~librarian quotes by Charles Lamb, Essays of Elia
The library connects us with the insight and knowledge, painfully extracted from Nature, of the greatest minds that ever were, with the best teachers, drawn from the entire planet and from all our history, to instruct us without tiring, and to inspire us to make our own contribution to the collective knowledge of the human species. I think the health of our civilization, the depth of our awareness about the underpinnings of our culture and our concern for the future can all be tested by how well we support our libraries.
~famous quotes about Libraries by Carl Sagan, Cosmos
Nutrimentum spiritus (food for the soul).
~librarian sayings by Berlin Royal Library, inscription
After all, what is your host's purpose in having a party? Surely not for you to enjoy yourself; if that were their sole purpose, they'd have simply sent champagne and women over to your place by taxi
~librarian sayings by P.J. O'Rourke
Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
~good sayings about Art by Pablo Picasso
To put the world right in order, we must first put the nation in order; to put the nation in order, we must first put the family in order; to put the family in order, we must first cultivate our personal life; we must first set our hearts right.
~librarian quotes by Confucius
One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

One of the best things about paintings is their silence - which prompts reflection and random reverie.

If at first you do succeed - try to hide your astonishment.
~librarian sayings by Author Unknown
The eager and often inconsiderate appeals of reformers and revolutionists are indispensable to counterbalance the inertia and fossilism marking so large a part of human institutions.

Success and failure. We think of them as opposites, but they're really not. They're companions - the hero and the sidekick.
~librarian quotes by Laurence Shames
The purpose of a business is to create and keep customers
~motivational quotes about Business sayings by Theodore Levitt
There are twelve hours in the day, and above fifty in the night.
~librarian sayings by Marie de Rabutin-Chantal
I believe that there is a subtle magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright.

No one should be able to enter a wilderness by mechanical means.

~librarian quotes by Bob Hope

~good sayings about Friends by Unknown
Good judgment comes from experience, and often experience comes from bad judgment.
~librarian quotes by Rita Mae Brown
To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child. The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.
~motivational quotes about Inner Child sayings by Ralph Waldo Emerson
A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success
