Sage Fellowship

Famous quotes containing the words sage and/or fellowship:

    Call the bald man, “Boy;” make the sage thy toy;
    Greet the youth with solemn face; praise the fat man for his grace.
    Helen Rowland (1875–1950)

    Science with its retorts would have put me to sleep; it was the opportunity to be ignorant that I improved. It suggested to me that there was something to be seen if one had eyes. It made a believer of me more than before. I believed that the woods were not tenantless, but choke-full of honest spirits as good as myself any day,—not an empty chamber, in which chemistry was left to work alone, but an inhabited house,—and for a few moments I enjoyed fellowship with them.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
