Henry David Thoreau Requires Quotations

If an injustice requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law. Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the government machine.

One must be out-of-doors enough to get experience of wholesome reality, as a ballast to thought and sentiment. Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life.

We should distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes.

If... the machine of government... is of such a nature that it requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law.
