The
smallest seed of faith is better than the largest
fruit of happiness.

Thoreau

The
words which express our faith and piety are not
definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like
frankincense to superior natures.
-- Henry David
Thoreau
1817-1862, American
Essayist, Poet, Naturalist
Through want of enterprise and faith men are where
they are, buying and selling and spending their
lives like servants.
-- Henry David
Thoreau
1817-1862, American
Essayist, Poet, Naturalist
Despotism may govern without faith, but liberty
cannot. How is it possible that society should
escape destruction if the moral tie is not
strengthened in proportion as the political tie is
relaxed? And what can be done with a people who are
their own masters if they are not submissive to the
Deity?
-- Alexis De
Tocqueville
1805-1859, French
Social Philosopher
