"Take it for granted, when I am invited……" — Henry David Thoreau

"Take it for granted, when I am invited to lecture anywhere,for I have had a little experience in that business,that there is a desire to hear what I think onsome subject, though I may be the greatest fool in the country,and not that I should say pleasant things merely, or such as an audience will assent to; and I resolve, accordingly, that I will give them a strong dose of myself. They have sent for me, and engaged to pay for me, and I am determined thatthey shall have me, though I bore them beyond all precedent."
