Henry David ThoreauSo long as a man is faithful to himself, everything is in his favor, government, society, the very sun, moon, and stars.
Henry David ThoreauThe universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us.
Henry David ThoreauWhenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climbs, and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I read it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night.
