Disclaimer: I don't own the poem or quotes.

Books are keys,

To wisdom's treasure.

Books are gates,

To lands of pleasure.

Books are paths,

That upward lead.

Books are friends,

Come let us read.

You can't buy happiness but you can buy books, and that's kind of the same thing.

Books are the quietest and most constant of friends; They are the most accessible and wisest of counsellors, and the most patient of teachers. -Charles W. Eliot
