To some extent, mythology is only the most ancient history and biography. So far from being false or fabulous in the common sense,it contains only enduring and essential truth, the I and you, the here and there, the now and then, being omitted. Either time or rare wisdom writes it.
Henry David ThoreauThat government is best which governs not at all; and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.
Henry David ThoreauGreat men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.
