Sage Fellowship

Famous quotes containing the words sage and/or fellowship:

    I wish you all manner of prosperity, with a little more taste.
    —Alain-RenĂ© Le Sage (1668–1747)

    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)
