Random Yummies from the teacher Henry David Thoreau
If you have built your castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Not put the foundations under them.
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary.
I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
The mass of men lead quiet lives of desperation.
