"My life is like a stroll upon..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Even trees do not die without a groan.”

“I often visited a particular plant four or five miles distant, half a dozen times within a fortnight, that I might know exactly when it opened.”

“I repeat that in this sense the most splendid court in Christendom is provincial, having authority to consult about Transalpine interests only, and not the affairs of Rome. A prætor or proconsul would suffice to settle the questions which absorb the attention of the English Parliament and the American Congress.”

“Of all peoples the Greeks have dreamt the dream of life best.”

“And all the woods are alive with the murmur and sound of Spring,And the rose-bud breaks into pink on the climbing briar,And the crocus-bed is a quivering moon of fireGirdled round with the belt of an amethyst ring.”

“The English did not come to America from a mere love of adventure, nor to truck with or convert the savages, nor to hold offices under the crown, as the French to a great extent did, but to live in earnest and with freedom.”

“We've gone through the operating system and looked at everything and asked how can we simplify this and make it more powerful at the same time.”

“Truth is too simple for us: we do not like those who unmask our illusions.”

“Abandon cleverness, discard profit, and thieves and robbers will disappear.”
