“I weathered some merry snow-storms, and spent some cheerful winter evenings by my fireside, while the snow whirled wildly without, and even the hooting of the owl was hushed.

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“In many walks of life, a conscience is a more expensive encumbrance than a wife or a carriage.”
