Very interesting book, cumulating in the great sentence:
“He that does not eat need not work” (Thoreau, 1854, p.144).
“When he has obtained those things which are necessary to life, there is another alternative than to obtain the superfluities; and that is, to adventure on life now, his vacation from humbler toil having commenced” (Thoreau, 1854, p.9).
“In accumulating property for ourselves or for posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident” (Thoreau, 1854, p.64).
“He that does not eat need not work” (Thoreau, 1854, p.144).
