"A man can suffocate on courtesy...." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Unto a life which I call natural I would gladly follow even a will-o'-the-wisp through bogs and sloughs unimaginable, but no moonnor firefly has shown me the causeway to it.”

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.”

“How can we expect a harvest of thought who have not had a seedtime of character?”

“I will not live out of me I will not see with others' eyes My good is good, my evil ill I would be free.”

“I'm like a big 10-year-old when I'm on stage. I just go up there and do whatever I think is cool at the moment.”

“For he that feeds men serveth few;He serves all who dares be true.”

“Many white Americans of good will have never connected bigotry with economic exploitation. They have deplored prejudice but tolerated or ignored economic injustice.”

“Fraud makes the world go round.”

“No man with a genius for legislation has appeared in America. They are rare in the history of the world. There are orators, politicians, and eloquent men, by the thousand; but the speaker has not yet opened his mouth to speak who is capable of settling the much-vexed questions of the day. We love eloquence for its own sake, and not for any truth which it may utter, or any heroism it may inspire. Our legislators have not yet learned the comparative value of free trade and of freedom, of union, and of rectitude, to a nation.”
