Henry David Thoreau
  • We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

  • Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men.

  • Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

  • I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.

  • Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
