- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
- Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
- If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
- Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Be not simply good; be good for something.
- What is the use of a house if you haven’t got a tolerable planet to put it on
Henry David Thoreau, “Walden”, 1854
