"All this worldly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man." ― Henry David Thoreau Topic(s): Wisdom Tags: wisdom, worldly More From Henry David Thoreau "There are certain pursuits which, if not wholly poetic and true, do at least suggest a nobler and finer relation to nature than we know. The keeping of bees, for instance." "There is no remedy for love but to love more." "We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success." More In Wisdom "Rich people without wisdom and learning are but sheep with golden fleeces."― Solon "I just think that people take me a little more seriously as a brunette. I don’t know if that’s just because of a societal preconceived notion that all blondes are stupid, but it’s a different kind of attitude."― Kate Bosworth "One nuclear war is going to be the last nuclear – the last war, frankly, if it really gets out of hand. And I just don’t think we ought to be prepared to accept that sort of thing."― Lawrence Eagleburger
