Stuff a cold and starve a cold are but two ways. They are the two practices, both always in full blast. Yet you must take the advice of the one school as if there was no other.
Henry David ThoreauMan emulates earth Earth emulates heaven Heaven emulates the Way The way emulates nature.
Henry David ThoreauGive me a country where it is the most natural thing in the world for a government that does not understand you to let you alone.
Henry David ThoreauEvery sunset I witness inspires me with the desire to go to West as distant and as fair as that which the sun goes down. Eastward I go only by force; but westward I go free.
Henry David ThoreauI must walk toward Oregon, and not toward Europe. And that way the nation is moving, and I may say that mankind progress from east to west. We go eastward to realize history and study the works of art and literature, retracing the steps of the race; we go westward as into the future, with a spirit of enterprise and adventure.
Henry David Thoreau
