—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
