"The inhabitants of the Cape generally do..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short.”

“There are two classes of authors: the one write the history of their times, the other their biography.”

“Experience is in the fingers and head. The heart is inexperienced.”

“To have little is to possess.”

“Those who know others are intelligent Those who know themselves have insight. Those who master others have force Those who master themselves have strength.Those who know what is enough are wealthy. Those who persevere have direction. Those who maintain their position endure. And those who die and yet do not perish, live on.”

“Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man's happiness really lies in contentment.”

“If people maintain the belief systems that empower them, they'll keep coming back with enough action and enough resourcefulness to succeed eventually.”

“The defining factor [for success] is never resources; it’s resourcefulness.”

“A sound man is good at salvage, at seeing nothing is lost”
