"At least let us have healthy books...." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“At a certain season of our life we are accustomed to consider every spot as the possible site of a house.”

“The effect of a good government is to make life more valuable; of a bad one, to make it less valuable.”

“The first sparrow of spring! The year beginning with younger hope than ever!”

“No- I cannot talk of books in a ballroom; my head is always full of something else.”

“There is always room and occasion enough for a true book on any subject; as there is room for more light the brightest day and more rays will not interfere with the first.”

“Oh! I am delighted with the book! I should like to spend my whole life in reading it.”

“A good spouse and health is a person's best wealth.”

“The truth is, that in London it is always a sickly season. Nobody is healthy in London, nobody can be.”

“I admit that thoughts influence the body.”
