Henry David Thoreau
  • God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

  • Not only must we be good, but we must also be good for something.

  • A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.

  • Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.

  • Be not simply good - be good for something.
