“Nothing is so well calculated to produce a death-like torpor in the country as an extended system of taxation and a great national debt.”

“Some minds are as little logical or argumentative as nature; they can offer no reason or “guess,” but they exhibit the solemn and incontrovertible fact. If a historical question arises, they cause the tombs to be opened. Their silent and practical logic convinces the reason and the understanding at the same time. Of such sort is always the only pertinent question and the only satisfactory reply.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
