Cast your whole vote, not a piece of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless when it conforms to a majority; but is irresistable when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.
Henry David ThoreauI make it my business to extract from Nature what ever nutriment she can furnish me.... I milk the sky and the earth.
Henry David ThoreauWhere there is a brave man, in the thickest of the fight, there is the post of honor.
Henry David ThoreauI do not speak to those who are well employed, in whatever circumstances, and they know whether they are well employed or not; but mainly to the mass of men who are discontented, and idly complaining of the hardness of their lot or of the times, when they might improve them.
