A man may usually be known by the books he reads as well as by the company he keeps; for there is a companionship of books as well as of men; and one should always live in the best company, whether it be of books or of men.
A good book may be among the best of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or distress. It always receives us with the same kindness; amusing and instructing us in youth, and comforting and consoling us in age.

个人通常可以通过他所读的书和他所结交的朋友来了解他，因为书籍和人之间既有友谊，就有最好的朋友，不管是书还是人，都应该永远生活在最好的朋友之中。
一本好书可能是最好的朋友之一。过去是这样，现在是这样，将来也不会改变。它是最有耐心和快乐的同伴。在我们处于逆境或困难的时候，它不会背弃我们。它总是以同样的好意接待我们，在我们年轻时给我们以娱乐和教诲，在我们年老时给我们以安慰和鼓励。
