How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live
American essayist, poet, philosopher, abolitionist, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, yogi, and historian.
For it would be better to die once and for all than to suffer pain for all one's life
The life of the dead is set in the memory of the living
Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers
By means of knowledge we raise ourselves above everybody else
Our enemies are our greatest moral teachers, because they thrust our faults in our faces
Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are
