Quote by Oswald Chambers

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand, and always disinterested; having this advantage over oral instructors, that they are ready to repeat their lesson as often as we please.

Books are standing counselors and preachers, always at hand,

Summary

This quote highlights the enduring value of books as a source of guidance and wisdom. Unlike oral instructors who can only teach a lesson once, books serve as constant companions, always available and impartial in their teachings. They function as both counselors and preachers, offering advice and moral lessons. The unique advantage of books lies in their ability to be revisited, allowing readers to repeat and reinforce the lessons as many times as needed to deepen their understanding and apply them to their lives.
