Henry David Thoreau Quotes

I Have Thoroughly Tried School-keeping, And Found That My Expenses Were In Proportion, Or Rather Out Of Proportion, To My Income,for I Was Obliged To Dress And Train, Not To Say Think And Believe, Accordingly, And I Lost My Time Into The Bargain. As I Did Not Teach For The Good Of My Fellow-men, But Simply For A Livelihood, This Was A Failure. I Have Tried Trade; But I Found That It Would Take Ten Years To Get Under Way In That, And That Then I Should Probably Be On My Way To The Devil. I Was Actually Afraid That I Might By That Time Be Doing What Is Called A Good Business.
