"Wealth cannot purchase any great private solace..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“The indescribable innocence of and beneficence of Nature,-of sun and wind and rain, of summer and winter,-such health, such cheer, they afford forever!”

“I am never rich in money, and I am never meanly poor.”

“But it is fit that the Past should be dark; though the darkness is not so much a quality of the past as of tradition. It is not adistance of time, but a distance of relation, which makes thus dusky its memorials. What is near to the heart of this generation is fair and bright still. Greece lies outspread fair and sunshiny in floods of light, for there is the sun and daylight in her literature and art. Homer does not allow us to forget that the sun shone,--nor Phidias, nor the Parthenon.”

“If you want to be rich, think of the savings and get them.”

“A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.”

“Everyone asks if a man is rich, no one if he is good.”

“Every man should have a college education in order to show him how little the thing is really worth.”

“Time is totally perishable and cannot be stored. Yesterday's time is gone forever, and will never come back. Time is always in short supply. There is no substitute for time. Everything requires time.”

“A good legible label is usually worth, for information, a ton of significant attitude and expression in a historical picture.”
