Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Men And Boys Are Learning All Kinds Of Trades But How To Make Men Of Themselves. They Learn To Make Houses; But They Are Not So Well Housed, They Are Not So Contented In Their Houses, As The Woodchucks In Their Holes. What Is The Use Of A House If You Haven't Got A Tolerable Planet To Put It On? - If You Cannot Tolerate The Planet That It Is On? Grade The Ground First. If A Man Believes And Expects Great Things Of Himself, It Makes No Odds Where You Put Him, Or What You Show Him ... He Will Be Surrounded By Grandeur. He Is In The Condition Of A Healthy And Hungry Man, Who Says To Himself, - How Sweet This Crust Is!
