"We falsely attribute to men a determined character……" — Henry David Thoreau

"We falsely attribute to men a determined character - putting together all their yesterdays - and averaging them - we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is the silent poor indeed."

Henry David Thoreau
