THOREAU2

In times when the government imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also the prison.

In wilderness is the preservation of the world.

It is never too late to give up your prejudices.

It is not enough to be busy... the question is: what are we busy about?

It is not worth while to go around the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.

It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.

Law never made men a whit more just.

Lo! Men have become tools of their tools.

Most are engaged in business the greater part of their lives, because the soul abhors a vacuum and they have not discovered any continuous employment for man's nobler faculties.

Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.

Nothing is so much to be feared as fear.

Our life is frittered away by detail; Simplify, simplify.

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Probe the earth and see where your main roots run.

Spring--an experience in immortality.
