"It is but too easy to establish..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Wealth is measured by the level of experience in all aspects of life”

“The best way to correct a mistake is to make it right.”

“How insupportable would be the days, if the night with its dews and darkness did not come to restore the drooping world. As the shades begin to gather around us, our primeval instincts are aroused, and we steal forth from our lairs, like the inhabitants of the jungle, in search of those silent and brooding thoughts which are the natural prey of the intellect.”

“There is no habit you will value so much as that of walking far without fatigue.”

“The sun has not caught me in bed in fifty years.”

“Once you learn to do something consciously, you can move it into the subconscious and do it well. Everything you do well will be done subconsciously.”

“I've never really resented hard work because I've always liked it. Up every morning for roadwork. Going to the gymnasium every day at 12 o'clock. I never change my pattern.”

“when one is not expressing himself, he is not free. thus, he begins to struggle and the struggle breeds methodical routine. Soon, he is doing his methodical routine as response rather than responding to what is.”

“I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust,... confess that I am astonished at the power of endurance, to say nothing of the moral insensibility, of my neighbors who confine themselves to shops and offices the whole day for weeks and months, aye, and years almost together. I know not what manner of stuff they are of,--sitting there now at three o'clock in the afternoon, as if it were three o'clock in the morning.”
