Resist much, obey little
American poet, essayist, and journalist. A humanist, he was a part of the transition between transcendentalism and realism.
Happiness in intelligent people is the rarest thing I know
I need a six month vacation, twice a year
The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men
I like this place and willingly could waste my time in it
Never confuse movement with action
It is a profitable thing, if one is wise, to seem foolish
