"There is no value in life except..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“First, there is the power of the Wind, constantly exerted over the globe... Here is an almost incalculable power at our disposal, yet how trifling the use we make of it.”

“You boast of spending a tenth part of your income in charity; may be you should spend the nine tenths so, and done with it.”

“I have learned that even the smallest house can be a home.”

“Books that are books are all that you want, and there are but a half dozen in any thousand.”

“Things perfected by nature are better than those finished by art.”

“We could afford the price of peace. Love is all it costs.”

“The pleasure of love is in loving; we are happier in the passion we feel than in what we inspire.”

“Most people are as happy as they want to be.”

“... our purpose in founding our state was not to promote the happiness of a single class, but, so far as possible, of the whole community. Our idea was that we were most likely to justice in such a community, and so be able to decide the question we are trying to answer. We are therefore at the moment trying to construct what we think is a happy community by securing the happiness not of a select minority, but of a whole.”
