“Sit down awhile; And let us once again assail your ears, That are so fortified against our story What we have two nights seen.”
― William Shakespeare

“I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, barns, cattle, and farming tools; for these are more easily acquired than got rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labor in. Who made them serfs of the soil? Why should they eat their sixty acres, when man is condemned to eat only his peck of dirt? Why should they begin digging their graves as soon as they are born?”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden or, Life in the Woods

“We commonly do not remember that it is, after all, always the first person that is speaking. I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.”
― Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“there are many out-of-the-way things it is as well to know, but one should never boast of them.”
― Anonymous, The Arabian Nights Entertainments
