"At a certain season of our life..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Direct your eye inward, and you'll find / A thousand regions in your mind / Yet undiscovered. Travel them, and be / Expert in home-cosmography”

“The newspapers, I perceive, devote some of their columns specially to politics or government without charge; and this, one would say, is all that saves it; but as I love literature and to some extent the truth also, I never read those columns at any rate. I do not wish to blunt my sense of right so much.”

“A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.”

“Attitude is your thought life turned inside out”

“We only get to play this game one time, one life.”

“One may almost doubt if the wisest man has learned anything of absolute value by living.”

“A house is made with walls and beams; a home is built with love and dreams.”

“Good apple pies are a considerable part of our domestic happiness.”

“The happiness of the domestic fireside is the first boon of Heaven; and it is well it is so, since it is that which is the lot of the mass of mankind.”
