Henry David Thoreau█

In seeking to live deliberately among the pines of Walden, I tested the marrow of existence and found freedom in simplicity and self-reliance.

Ask me why I would rather march to the beat of my own drummer, how civil disobedience quietly defies injustice, or what the whisper of a Concord morning teaches the earnest ear.

My days were short, but I spent them as one who would not, for hope or fame, trade integrity for comfort.
