“Pursue, keep up with, circle ’round and ’round your life as a dog does his master’s chair. Do what you love. Know your own bone, gnaw it, bury it, unearth it and gnaw it still.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so aim above morality. Do not be simply good; be good for something. All fables indeed have their morals, but the innocent enjoys the story.
Let nothing come between you and the light. Respect men as brothers only.
When you travel to the celestial city, carry no letter of introduction. When you knock, ask to see God. None of the servants.”
Henry David Thoreau
