"Voting for the right is doing nothing..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.”

“Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail.”

“There are other letters for the child to learn than those which Cadmus invented. The Spaniards have a good term to express this wild and dusky knolwedge, Grammatica parda, tawny grammar, a kind of mother-wit derived from that same leopard to which I have referred.”

“The great man is sparing in words but prodigal in deeds.”

“Only one thing is ever guaranteed, that is that you will definitely not achieve the goal if you don't take the shot.”

“Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can.”

“I would absolutely refuse any direct or indirect war service and would try to persuade my friends to do the same, regardless of the reasons for the cause of a war.”

“No government is ever really in favor of so-called civil rights. It always tries to whittle them down. They are preserved under all governments, insofar as they survive at all, by special classes of fanatics, often highly dubious.”

“Good morning, Revolution: You're the very best friend I ever had. We gonna pal around together from now on”
