By Henry David Thoreau
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of wo/man to elevate her life by a conscious endeavor;
To affect the quality of the day,
that is the highest of Arts!
Our life is frittered away by detail
Simplicity! Simplicity! Simplicity!
The Nation ruined by Luxury and heedless expense
and the only cure for it -
a stern and more than spartan simplicity of life
and elevation of purpose!
Why should we live in such a hurry and waste our life?
we are determined to be starved before we are hungry!
Authors
Henry David Thoreau
