More From Henry David Thoreau
- "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation."
- "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."
- "Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution."
