“SAUNTERING, which word is beautifully derived "from idle people who roved about the country, in the Middle Ages, and asked charity, under pretense of going a la Sainte Terre," to the Holy Land, till the children exclaimed, "There goes a Sainte-Terrer," a Saunterer, a Holy-Lander.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walking

“A man without a vote is a man without protection.”
― Lyndon B. Johnson

“The government itself, which is only the mode which the people have chosen to execute their will, is equally liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act through it.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Civil Disobedience

“Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods
