"Count your age with friends but not..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it.”

“Those who work much do not work hard.”

“As I love nature, as I love singing birds, and gleaming stubble, and flowing rivers, and morning and evening, and summer and winter, I love thee, my Friend.”

“Your friends may love you in private but your enemies will hate you in public.”

“Be loyal and trustworthy. Do not befriend anyone who is lower than yourself in this regard.”

“Friends must always be treated as if one day they might be enemies.”

“There's a crystallization that goes on in a poem which the young man can bring off, but which the middle-aged man can't.”

“It's great to have gray hair. Ask anyone who's bald.”

“Age is whatever you think it is. You are as old as you think you are.”
