"It is not worth the while to..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.”

“Even the death of Friends will inspire us as much as their lives. They will leave consolation to the mourners, as the rich leave money to defray the expenses of their funerals, and their memories will be incrusted over with sublime and pleasing thoughts, as monuments of other men are overgrown with moss; for our Friends have no place in the graveyard.”

“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.”

“We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay - and rise!”

“No man is happy who does not think himself so.”

“I've gotten used to being Frank Ocean.”

“Love may forgive all infirmities and love still in spite of them: but Love cannot cease to will their removal.”

“Never forget that a man is made great and perfect as much by his faults as by his virtues. So we must not seek to rob a nation of its character, even if it could be proved that the character was all faults.”

“Our foibles are really what make us lovable.”
