“Truth is always in harmony with herself, and is not concerned chiefly ...” — Henry David Thoreau Quote

Truth is always in harmony with herself, and is not concerned chiefly to reveal the justice that may consist with wrong-doing.

Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

None are so old as those who have outlived enthusiasm.

Money and religion are perfect alloy.

Truth can be stated in a thousand different ways, yet each one can be true.

Never trust the translation or interpretation of something without first trusting its interpreter.

There were a hundred shades between a truth and lie, and she knew them all.

If therefore my work is negative, irreligious, atheistic, let it be remembered that atheism — at least in the sense of this work — is the secret of religion itself; that religion itself, not indeed on the surface, but fundamentally, not in intention or according to its own supposition, but in its heart, in its essence, believes in nothing else than the truth and divinity of human nature.
