We are too inclined to go hence to a “better land,” without lifting a finger, as our farmers are moving to the Ohio soil; but would it not be more heroic and faithful to till and redeem this New England soil of the world?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“One is twice as willing to jump in after a person who has fallen into the water when there are people present who do not dare to do so.”
