Great Quote Monday — Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau: Poet, Thinker, Dapper Dan
Depending on how you look at it, today’s Great Quote could either be inspiring or kind of sober, a’ la J. M. Barrie. Maybe it’s both. In any case, hope it helps get your week started well…
“The youth gets together his materials to build a bridge to the moon, or, perchance, a palace or temple on the earth, and, at length, the middle-aged man concludes to build a woodshed with them.”
- Henry David Thoreau
July 14, 1852 — Journals (1838-1859)
