Famous quotes containing the words peace and/or studies:
“As peace is the end of war, so to be idle is the ultimate purpose of the busy.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“His life itself passes deeper in nature than the studies of the naturalist penetrate; himself a subject for the naturalist. The latter raises the moss and bark gently with his knife in search of insects; the former lays open logs to their core with his axe, and moss and bark fly far and wide. He gets his living by barking trees. Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
