For the most part, the best man's spirit makes a fearful sprite to haunt his grave.
Henry David ThoreauEven the utmost good-will and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies-neighbors are kind enough for that-but to do the like office to our spirits.
Henry David ThoreauThe richest gifts we can bestow are the least marketable. We hate the kindness which we understand.
Henry David Thoreau
