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.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
