Helped Lead

Famous quotes containing the words helped and/or lead:

    God is not necessary to create culpability, or to punish. Our fellow men are enough for that, helped by ourselves.
    Albert Camus (1913–1960)

    I have no scheme about it,—no designs on men at all; and, if I had, my mode would be to tempt them with the fruit, and not with the manure. To what end do I lead a simple life at all, pray? That I may teach others to simplify their lives?—and so all our lives be simplified merely, like an algebraic formula? Or not, rather, that I may make use of the ground I have cleared, to live more worthily and profitably?
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
