“Nature has taken more care than the fondest parent for the education and refinement of her children. Consider the silent influence which flowers exert, no less upon the ditcher in the meadow than the lady in the bower. When I walk in the woods, I am reminded that a wise purveyor has been there before me; my most delicate experience is typified there.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

—Jean Piaget (1896–1980)
“Before printing was discovered, a century was equal to a thousand years.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
