Be not simply good - be good for something.
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.
Beware of all enterprises that require a new set of clothes.
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion.
If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated?
If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see.
None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.
All this wordly wisdom was once the unamiable heresy of some wise man.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU 1817 - 1862
