He who hears the rippling of rivers in these degenerate days... - Henry David Thoreau

"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."

"This world is but a canvas to our imagination."

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

"It's not worth our while to let our imperfections disturb us always."

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty."
