Always the laws of light are the same, but the modes and degrees of seeing vary.
Henry David ThoreauWhere there is an observatory and a telescope, we expect that any eyes will see new worlds at once.
Henry David ThoreauHowever mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are.
Henry David ThoreauAny man knows when he is justified, and all the wits in the world cannot enlighten him on that point. The murderer always knows that he is justly punished; but when a government takes the life of a man without the consent of his conscience, it is an audacious government, and is taking a step towards its own dissolution.
