That man is rich whose pleasures are the cheapest.
From Henry David Thoreau
I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.
If I seem to boast more than is becoming, my excuse is that I brag for humanity rather than for myself.
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
The perception of beauty is a moral test.
In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.
Money is not required to buy one necessity of the soul.
If misery loves company, misery has company enough.
Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify.
In wildness is the preservation of the world.
