[freespirit2001]

"The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city you go into the desperate country, and have to console yourself with with the bravery of minks and muskrats. A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed under what are called games and amusements of mankind. There is no play in them, for this comes after work. But it is characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things...."

Henry Thoreau, Economy

"We might try to live our lives by a thousand different tests; as, for instance, that the same sun which ripens my beans illumines at once a system of earths like ours. If I had remembered this it would have prevented some mistakes. This was not the light in which I hoed them. The stars are apexes of what wonderful triangles! What distant and different beings in the various mansions of the universe are contemplating the same one at the same moment.! Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another? Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant? We should live in all the ages of the world in an hour; ay, in all the worlds of the ages...
History, Poetry,..........!
I know of no reading of another's experience so startling and informing as this would be."

---Henry Thoreau, Economy

[kelco]

The universe is one great kindergarten for man. Everything that exists has brought with it its own peculiar lesson. The mountain teaches stability and grandeur; the ocean immensity and change. Forests, lakes, and rivers, clouds and winds, stars and flowers, stupendous glaciers and crystal snowflakes--every form of animate or inanimate existence, leaves its impress upon the soul of man.
~ Orison Swett Marden
