"Books
are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance
of generations... Their authors are a natural and irresistible
aristocracy in every society, and more than kings or emperors,
exert influence on mankind." –Henry David Thoreau

"To be a philosopher
is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nore even to found a
school, but to so love wisdom as to live accordingly to its
dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity, and
trust."
