Books are silent friends, and should be treated well. I am proud of my books. I hope that my children will use them and preserve them when I am gone from this world. Human friends may betray you, but not so with books. Books contain wisdom for our understanding, humour for our entertainment, information for our development, and matter for our pleasure.Brenda Mohammed
About This Quote
A book is a silent friend, who will always help you when you are in trouble. It will never let you down, unless it comes into contact with your feet or it falls into oblivion. The fact that books are silent means that they do not talk back or ask for anything in return. They are silent, but supportive friends.
