"Every man looks at his wood-pile with..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“The other side of the globe is but the home of our correspondent. Our voyaging is only great-circle sailing.”

“Your richest veins don't lie nearest the surface.”

“I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.”

“No work is insignificant. All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity”

“Work is often the father of pleasure.”

“May the work of your hands be a sign of gratitude and reverence to the human condition.”

“You're really spread out now, you've got stuff all over the WORLD! You've got stuff at home, stuff in storage, stuff in Honolulu, stuff in Maui, stuff in your pockets...supply lines are getting longer and harder to maintain.”

“To me the ego is the habitual and compulsive thought processes that go through everybody's mind continuously. External things like possessions or memories or failures or successes or achievements. Your personal history.”

“Too often, a vast collection of possessions ends up possessing its owner.”
