Direct Base

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or base:

“Of course it is of no use to direct our steps to the woods, if they do not carry us thither. I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit.... What business have I in the woods, if I am thinking of something out of the woods?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Do not gain basely; base gain is equal to ruin.”
