Famous quotes containing the words village and/or communities:

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I am convinced, that if all men were to live as simply as I then did, thieving and robbery would be unknown. These take place only in communities where some have got more than is sufficient while others have not enough.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
