More From Henry David Thoreau
- "Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe."
- "If it is surely the means to the highest end we know, can any work be humble or disgusting? Will it not rather be elevating as a ladder, the means by which we are translated?"
- "To be admitted to Nature’s hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain."
