Walden
The more modern you consider yourself, the more you need to read and heed this collection of sensible adivce.
Quotable Quotes
• I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well. (Economy, p. 3)
• As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. (Economy, p. 7)
• One farmer says to me, "You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with"; and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle. (Economy, p. 8)
• Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes. (Economy, p. 19)
