Front yards are not made to walk in, but, at most, through, and you could go in the back way.Henry David Thoreau
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.Henry David Thoreau
In the meanest are all the materials of manhood, only they are not rightly disposed.Henry David Thoreau
What I call my 'self' now is hardly a person at all. It's mainly a meeting place for various natural forces, desires, and fears, etcetera, some of which come from my ancestors, and some from my education, some perhaps from devils. The self you were really intended to be is something that lives not from nature but from God.C. S. Lewis
Courage is not simply one of the virtues, but the form of every virtue at the testing point.C. S. Lewis
