We do not yet possess ourselves, and we know at the same time that we are much more.Ralph Waldo Emerson
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.Henry David Thoreau
Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable, but positive hindrances to the elevation of mankind.Henry David Thoreau
Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.Henry David Thoreau
