"Goodness is the only investment that never..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“For an impenetrable shield, stand inside yourself”

“Routine is a ground to stand on, a wall to retreat to; we cannot draw on our boots without bracing ourselves against it.”

“The slight reproach to which the virtue of patriotism is commonly liable, the noble are most likely to incur.”

“To put everything in balance is good, to put everything in harmony is better.”

“My suspicious nature is that there's something that [ Reverend ] Galamison, about Galamison that must have some good in it or some right in it.”

“As for Doing-good, that is one of the professions which are full.”

“Virtue is more clearly shown in the performance of fine ACTIONS than in the non-performance of base ones.”

“Adorn thyself with simplicity and with indifference towards the things which lie between virtue and vice. Love mankind. Follow God. The poet says that Law rules all. And it is enough toremember that law rules all.”

“The ancients called beauty the flowering of virtue.”
