It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
Quotations
Henry David Thoreau
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.
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
