"Do not be too moral. You may..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“If the injustice is part of the necessary friction of the machine of government, let it go, let it go: perchance it will wear smooth”

“You must get your living by loving. But as it is said of the merchants that ninety-seven in a hundred fail, so the life of men generally, tried by this standard, is a failure, and bankruptcy may be surely prophesied.”

“My Friend is that one whom I can associate with my choicest thought.”

“Every human being should always be treated as an end and never as a mere instrument.”

“Let every man consider virtue as what devolves on himself. He may not yield the performance of it even to his teacher.”

“Character alone will have real effect on the masses.”

“The vast majority of people are born, grow up, struggle and go through life in misery and failure, not realizing that it would be just as easy to switch over and get exactly what they want out of life, not recognizing that the mind attracts the thing it dwells upon.”

“I knew there was a way out. I knew there was another kind of life because I had read about it. I knew there were other places, and there was another way of being.”

“Let us endeavor so to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.”
