Henry David Thoreau

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify."

"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run."
