"In the long run, men hit only..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“It is not enough that our life is an easy one. We must live on the stretch, retiring to our rest like soldiers on the eve of a battle, looking forward to the strenuous sortie of the morrow.”

“Objects of charity are not guests.”

“The scenery when it is truly seen reacts on the life of the seer.”

“If you must break the law, do it to seize power: in all other cases observe it.”

“What we take for virtue is often but an assemblage of various ambitions and activities that chance, or our own astuteness, have arranged in a certain manner; and it is not always out of courage or purity that men are brave, and women chaste.”

“That I could clamber to the frozen moon. And draw the ladder after me.”

“My big fish must be somewhere.”

“I want to make sure that we, as a nation, stay unified because that's how we're going to achieve our missions.”

“The discipline you learn and character you build from setting and achieving a goal can be more valuable than the achievement of the goal itself.”
