book for the mind

book in the world equals the Bible for that.

View quotes by Roy PlomleyThe good of a
book lies in its being read. A
book is made up of signs that speak of other signs, which in their turn speak of things. Without an eye to read them, a
book contains signs that produce no concepts; therefore it is dumb.

book - it is a plaything.
View quotes by Thomas Love PeacockThere's only one good test of pornography. Get twelve normal men to read the
book, and then ask them, 'Did you get an erection?' If the answer is 'Yes' from a majority of the twelve, then the

View quotes by Jim RohnIt is now several months since I promised to give you my reasons for preferring the Bible as a school
book to all other compositions. Before I state my arguments, I shall assume the five following propositions:
1 . That Christianity is the only true and perfect religion; and that in proportion as mankind adopts its principles and obeys its precepts they will be wise and happy.
2. That a better knowledge of this religion is to be acquired by reading the Bible than in any other way.
3. That the Bible contains more knowledge necessary to man in his present state than any other
book in the world.
4. That knowledge is most durable, and religious instruction most useful, when imparted in early life.
5. That the Bible, when not read in schools, is seldom read in any subsequent period of life.
- Benjamin Rush, Essays, pp. 93-113, 'A Defence of the Use of the Bible as a School
Book'.
