More From Henry David Thoreau
- "A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars."
- "Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it."
- "Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand."
