More From Henry David Thoreau
- "I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."
- "The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it."
- "I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will."
