More about the book

"This above all - To thin own self be true; And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man." SHAKESPEARE. "Might I give counsel to any young man, I would say to him, trv to frequent the company of your betters. In books and in life, that is the most wholesome society; learn to admire rightly; the great pleasure of life is that. Note what great men admired; they admired great things; narrow spirits admire basely, and worship meanly." W. M. THACKERAY.
