The Home Book of American Quotations

1.Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; they are the most accessible and
wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers.
2. Early to bed and early to rise,
Makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.
3. Laws of nature are God's thoughts thinking themselves out in the orbits and the tides.
4. Oh the moonlight's fair to-night along the Wabash,
From the fields there comes the breath of new-mown hay;
Thro' the sycamores the candle lights are gleaming,
On the banks of the Wabash far away.

2.Benjamin Franklin
3.Charles H. Parkhurst
