Pity the man who has a character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is silent poor indeed.
Henry David ThoreauWhatever your sex or position, life is a battle in which you are to show your pluck, and woe be to the coward. Whether passed on a bed of sickness or a tented field, it is ever the same fair play and admits no foolish distinction. Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail.
Henry David ThoreauThere is not so good an understanding between any two, but the exposure by the one of a serious fault in the other will produce a misunderstanding in proportion to its heinousness.
Henry David ThoreauThere is more religion in men's science, than there is science in their religion.
