“He is the best sailor who can steer within the fewest points of the wind, and extract a motive power out of the greatest obstacles. Most begin to veer and tack as soon as the wind changes from aft, and as within the tropics it does not blow from all points of the compass, there are some harbors which they can never reach.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“I would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.”
—Andrew Carnegie (1835–1919)
“A man’s library is a sort of harem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
