Inscriptions in Preston Bradley Hall and Its Outer Hall = Preston Bradley Hall, East Wing (translations)Egyptian: I will make thee love literature thy mother; I will make its beauties pass before thee. Hebrew: And the book is delivered unto him that is not learned, Saying, read this, I pray thee. Persian: They who by genius and by power of brain The rank of man's enlighteners attain, Not even they emerge from this dark night But tell their dreams and fall asleep again. Chinese: He who from day to day recognizes what he has not yet, and from month to month does not forget what he has attained to, may be said indeed to love to learn. Greek: The advice which their friends have not the courage to give to kings is found written in the books. Preston Bradley Hall, West Wing (translations) French: Men are equal; it is not birth but worth that makes the difference. Italian: Open thy mind to what I unfold and give it inward keeping Knowledge comes of learning well retained unfruitful else. Latin: Whatever things were written aforetime were written for our learning. Rom XV:4 German: Oh, sweet voice! Much welcome sound Of mother tongue in foreign land. Spanish: Does the scholar cease his learning? The more he knows, the more his yearning. A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit embalmed and treasured up on purpose to a life beyond life. The real use of all knowledge is this, that we should dedicate that reason which was given us by God for the use and advantage of man. A library implies an act of faith which generations still in darkness hid sign in their night in witness of the dawn. He that loveth a book will never want a faithful friend, a wholesome counselor, a cheerful companion, an effectual comforter. Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind which are delivered down from generation to generation as presents to the posterity of those who are yet born.
