More From Henry David Thoreau
- "Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?"
- "It is best to avoid the beginnings of evil."
- "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."
