Alexander Smith And Quotations

I go into my library and all history unrolls before me.

The world is not so much in need of new thoughts as that when thought grows old and worn with usage it should, like current coin, be called in, and, from the mint of genius, reissued fresh and new.

Books are a finer world within the world.

Trifles make up the happiness or the misery of mortal life.

Failure and success are not accidents, but the strictest justice.
