Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify ~ Henry David Thoreau

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate ~ Henry David Thoreau

When you're finished changing, you're finished ~ Henry David Thoreau

Be wary of any enterprise that requires new clothes ~ Henry David Thoreau
