Henry David ThoreauThe prosaic man sees things badly, or with the bodily sense; but the poet sees them clad in beauty, with the spiritual sense.
Henry David ThoreauTo enjoy a thing exclusively is commonly to exclude yourself from the true enjoyment of it.
Henry David ThoreauEven the death of Friends will inspire us as much as their lives.
