From exertion come wisdom and purity from sloth ignorance and sensuality.
Henry David Thoreau
I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee. I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house.
Henry David Thoreau
A man can suffocate on courtesy.
Henry David Thoreau
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
