"Truly, our greatest blessings are very cheap...." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”

“The fact is, mental philosophy is very like Poverty, which, you know, begins at home; and indeed, when it goes abroad, it is poverty itself.”

“No face which we can give to a matter will stead us so well at last as the truth. This alone wears well.”

“For rich people, the sky is just an extra, a gift of nature. The poor, on the other hand, can see it as it is, a gift of infinite grace.”

“The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation.”

“I will never forget who this victory truly belongs to. It belongs to you.”

“Don't you ever grow up, it could stay this simple.”

“One should use common words to say uncommon things”

“All life is a nap. The more naps you take the better.”
