Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.
From Henry David Thoreau
Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.
How could youths better learn to live than by at once trying the experiment of living?
To have done anything just for money is to have been truly idle.
A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
It is never too late to give up our prejudices.
To be awake is to be alive.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
