Henry David Thoreau — "Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads."

"Wealth is the ability to fully experience life."

"Sometimes I almost think that I am a pagan, and that I would rather worship the sun than any other god."

"The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water and time."

"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."

"The greater part of what my neighbors call good I believe in my soul to be bad, and if I repent of any thing, it is very likely to be my good behavior. What demon possessed me that I behaved so well?"
