Every nail driven should be as another rivet in the machine of the universe, you carrying on the work.
Henry David ThoreauAs polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music.
Henry David ThoreauThe law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.
Henry David ThoreauWe are sometimes made aware of a kindness long passed, and realize that there have been times when our friends' thoughts of us were of so pure and lofty a character that they passed over us like the winds of heaven unnoticed; when they treated us not as what we were, but as what we aspired to be.
Henry David Thoreau
