"A true account of the actual is..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“There is commonly sufficient space about us. Our horizon is never quite at our elbows.”

“On every hand we observe a truly wise practice, in education, in morals, and in the arts of life, the embodied wisdom of many an ancient philosopher.”

“Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.”

“Ignorance is preferable to error, and he is less remote from the truth who believes nothing than he who believes what is wrong.”

“A statement is persuasive and credible either because it is directly self-evident or because it appears to be proved from other statements that are so.”

“Truth becomes untruth if uttered by your enemy”

“The world is a strange place for a playhouse to stand within it.”

“The beautiful rests on the foundations of the necessary.”

“Women remain children all their lives, for they always see only what is near at hand, cling to the present, take the appearance of a thing for reality, and prefer trifling matters to the most important.”
