Quote of the Day (Henry David Thoreau, on Seeing When We Are ‘Unhurried and Wise’)

"When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.” — American essayist, naturalist and poet Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862), Walden (1854)
