Precious possessions

"You may have in a house costly pictures and costly ornaments, and a great variety of decoration; yet, so far as my judgment goes, I would prefer to have one comfortable room well stocked with books to all you can give me in the way of decoration which the highest art can supply… In the houses of the humble a little library, in my opinion, is a most precious possession."

John Bright
