“The librarian who reads is lost.”

“A collection of good books, with a soul to it in the shape of a librarian, becomes a vitalized power among the masses.”

“We must accustom the public to look upon our libraries as furnishing the most valuable instrument in their education.”

“A book is never a masterpiece; it becomes one.”

“The map is the most graphical and therefore the most effective of all symbols for expressing geographical facts.”

“The historical map is the most convenient and the most effective way of representing the progress of discovery.”

“There is no end to the making of books.”
