Favorite Quotes (beginning with B)

Yesterday I shared my favorite quotes with topics starting with “A”–here are a few from letter “B” on Beauty–Books–Busyness

Beauty
“The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is the reason he made so many of them.” — Abraham Lincoln —

Books
“I can’t imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once.”
–C.S. Lewis, The Letters of C.S. Lewis to Arthur Greeves, 439. —
“The sure mark of an unliterary man is that he considers “I’ve read it already” to be a conclusive argument against reading a work….Those who read great works, on the other hand, will read the same work ten, twenty or thirty times during the course of their life.” –C.S. Lewis, An Experiment in Criticism, 2.–

Busyness
“I find that God never guides us into an intolerable scramble of panting feverishness.”

–Thomas Kelly, A Testament of Devotion—
