I quarrel not with far-off foes, but with those who, near at home, coöperate with, and do the bidding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The lessons taught in great books are misleading. The commerce in life is rarely so simple and never so just.”
