“I walk toward one of our ponds; but what signifies the beauty of nature when men are base? We walk to lakes to see our serenity reflected in them; when we are not serene, we go not to them.

My thoughts are murder to the State, and involuntarily go plotting against her.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

—Barbara Tuchman (1912–1989)
“What a hundred years is not enough to build, one day is more than enough to destroy.”
—Chinese proverb.
