"Our actual Friends are but distant relations..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“There is considerable danger that a man will be crazy between dinner and supper; but it will not directly answer any good purposethat I know of, and it is just as easy to be sane.”

“The most attractive sentences are not perhaps the wisest, but the surest and soundest.”

“A man had better starve at once than lose his innocence in the process of getting his bread.”

“Paul and I know each other on a lot of different levels that very few people know about.”

“You ache with loneliness one night so much you weep and I say 'here is a rope tie it around me Hafiz will be your companion for life'.”

“Remember that the most valuable antiques are dear old friends.”

“Let America be America, where equality is in the air we breathe.”

“I have not yet learned to live, that I can see, and I fear that I shall not very soon. I find, however, that in the long run things correspond to my original idea,--that they correspond to nothing else so much; and thus a man may really be a true prophet without any great exertion. The day is never so dark, nor the night even, but that the laws at least of light still prevail, and so may make it light in our minds if they are open to the truth.”

“It is all true, or it ought to be; and more and better besides.”
