I thus found that the student who wishes for a shelter can obtain one for a lifetime at an expense not greater than the rent which he now pays annually.

As the sun went down, I saw a solitary boatman disporting on the smooth lake. The falling dews seemed to strain and purify the air, and I was soothed with an infinite stillness. I got the world, as it were, by the nape of the neck, and held it under in the tide of its own events, till it was drowned, and then I let it go down stream like a dead dog.

Thus the great civilizer sends out its emissaries, sooner or later, to every sandy cape and light-house of the New World which the census-taker visits, and summons the savage there to surrender.

Every morning was a cheerful invitation to make my life of equal simplicity, and I may say innocence, with Nature herself.

A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.

Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?

If the machine of government is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.

It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.
