Henry David Thoreau Quote

There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.

To get the full value of a joy you must have somebody to divide it with

Optimism: The doctrine or belief, that everything is beautiful, including what is ugly, everything good, especially the bad, and everything right that is wrong

Optimist: A proponent of the doctrine that black is white

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation

To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
