Will mankind never learn that policy is not morality,--that it never secures any moral right, but considers merely what is expedient? chooses the available candidate,--who is invariably the devil,--and what right have his constituents to be surprised, because the devil does not behave like an angel of light? What is wanted is men, not of policy, but of probity,--who recognize a higher law than the Constitution, or the decision of the majority.
Henry David ThoreauIn solitude especialy do we begin to appreciate the advantage of living with someone who can think.
Henry David ThoreauWe communicate like the burrows of foxes, in silence and darkness, under ground. We are undermined by faith and love.
