    Books have always a secret influence on the understanding; we
    cannot at pleasure obliterate ideas: he that reads books of
    science, though without any desire fixed of improvement, will
    grow more knowing; he that entertains himself with moral or
    religious treatises, will imperceptibly advance in goodness; the
    ideas which are often offered to the mind, will at last find a
    lucky moment when it is disposed to receive them.

Give truth a lustre, and make wisdom smile.
