"Under the one word "house" are included..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are.”

“Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.”

“What is morality but immemorial custom? Conscience is the chief of conservatives.”

“You know how gossip is. It's the toxic waste of small town”

“He to whom the present is the only thing that is present, knows nothing of the age in which he lives.”

“For society as a whole, nothing comes as a "right" to which we are "entitled." Even bare subsistence has to be produced-and produced at a cost of heavy toil for much of human history. The only way anyone can have a right to something that has to be produced is to force someone else to produce it for him. The more things are provided as rights, the less the recipients have to work and the more others have to carry their load.”

“Why O why did I ever leave my hobbit-hole?" said poor Mr. Baggins, bumping up and down on Bombur's back.”

“It may be that the satisfaction I need depends on my going away, so that when I've gone and come back, I'll find it at home.”

“I love traveling all over the world; but it's true: there's nothing like home.”
