"The price of anything is the amount..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.”

“We fritter away our energy and creativity . . .we get bogged down in the thick of thin things.”

“Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.”

“The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive.”

“There is no habit you will value so much as that of walking far without fatigue.”

“The public have an insatiable curiosity to know everything, except what is worth knowing.”

“Health is the greatest possession. Contentment is the greatest treasure. Confidence is the greatest friend. Non-being is the greatest joy.”

“Organized people are just too lazy to go looking for what they want.”

“The mystery of human existence lies not in just staying alive, but in finding something to live for.”
