What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?
From Henry David Thoreau
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
What is once well done is done forever.
Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all.
We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.
It takes two to speak the truth: one to speak, and another to hear.
Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.
I have a great deal of company in the house, especially in the morning when nobody calls.
The heart is forever inexperienced.
The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.
