| 593e282 | In early 2014, the global economy's top five companies' gross cash holdings--those of Apple, Google, Microsoft, as well as the US telecom giant Verizon and the Korean electronics conglomerate Samsung--came to $387 billion, the equivalent of the 2013 GDP of the United Arab Emirates.78 This capital imbalance puts the fate of the world economy in the hands of the few cash hoarders like Apple and Google, whose profits are mostly kept offshore t.. | Andrew Keen | ||

| 119f6b8 | Just Plain Bill was one of the biggest (and first) successes of daytime radio, enjoying a run of more than two decades. It exploited a favored theme of producers Frank and Anne Hummert: life in a small town. The precise location of Hartville was not revealed, but it was always thought to be somewhere in the Midwest. The serial was unusual in at least two aspects: the protagonist was male, and the musical bridges were played on guitar and ha.. | John Dunning | ||
| 26fee6c | Jika para pemberi suara tidak tahu alat terpenting yang dimanfaatkan pemimpin mereka, bisakah bangsa tersebut mengklaim sebagai bangsa yang demokratis? | John Perkins | ||
| f609d4b | Love. No matter where I start, I always end up here. | John M. Perkins | ||
| 36ef43e | John is away all day, and even some nights when his cases are serious. I am glad my case is not serious! | Charlotte Perkins Gilman | ||
| c1f150e | Every little pine needle expanded and swelled with sympathy and befriended me. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 956c8dd | Helen Keller, author, speaker, and advocate for disabled persons, asserted,"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure or nothing." | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 6026f59 | You just need to be positive, believe in yourself, and focus on others. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 78dd239 | My friend Nancy Dornan says, "The longest distance between two points is a shortcut." That's really true. For everything of value in life, you pay a price. As you desire to grow in a particular area, figure out what it will really take, including the price, and then determine to pay it." | John C. Maxwell | ||

| 0103be5 | De la literatura solo nos atrae lo salvaje. El aburrimiento no es sino otro nombre para lo domesticado. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| f96110a | It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves. There is none such. It is in the bog in our brains and bowels, the primitive vigour of Nature in us, that inspires that dream. I shall never find in the wilds of Labrador any greater wildness than in some recess of Concord, i.e. than I import into it. | landscape nature wilderness willdness | Henry David Thoreau | |
| 86c8bbc | After all, the man whose horse trots a mile in a minute does not carry the most important messages; | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| e4fa54b | In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 3f20a95 | You can always see a face in the fire. The laborer, looking into it at evening, purifies his thoughts of the dross and earthiness which they have accumulated during the day. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 72ad8c7 | The Great Butter Rebellion, which took place at Harvard University in 1766, was the first recorded student protest in the United States. Since the opening of Harvard's gates in 1636, food service had been an issue and the quality of the butter was exceptionally poor. Apparently one meal with particularly rancid butter led Asa Dunbar (the grandfather of Henry David Thoreau) to jump upon his chair and proclaim: "Behold, our butter stinketh!--.. | Elaine Khosrova | ||

| 091792e | Men, generally, under such a government as this, think that they ought to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. They think that, if they should resist, the remedy would be worse than the evil. But it is the fault of the government itself that the remedy is worse than the evil. It makes it worse. Why is it not more apt to anticipate and provide for reform? Why does it not cherish its wise minority? Why does it cry and re.. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 5a4f2d7 | Si teneis alguna empresa ante vosotros, tratad de hacerla con las ropas viejas. A los hombres les hace falta, no algo con lo que hacer, sino algo que hacer, o mejor, algo que ser. Tal vez no deberiamos procurarnos un traje nuevo, por harapiento y sucio que este el viejo, hasta no habernos conducido, empenado o embarcado de tal modo que podamos sentirnos hombres nuevos en el viejo. | minimalismo ropa walden | Henry David Thoreau | |
| 410d9fd | No man ever stood the lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes; yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| c33c704 | that he live in all respects so compactly and preparedly that, if an enemy take the town, he can, like the old philosopher, walk out the gate empty-handed without anxiety. | simplicity | Henry David Thoreau | |
| 5146d33 | I have lived some thirty years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors. | Henry David Thoreau | ||

| 30bc9a1 | It is a surprising and memorable, as well as valuable experience, to be lost in the woods any time. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| dc73d4b | Eleanor Roosevelt said, "One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes. In the long run, we shape our lives and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility." | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 195cc82 | If one listens to the faintest but constant suggestions of his genius, which are certainly true, he sees not to what extremes, or even insanity, it may lead him; and yet that way, as he grows more resolute and faithful, his road lies. The faintest assured objection which one healthy man feels will at length prevail over the arguments and customs of mankind. No man ever followed his genius till it misled him. Though the result were bodily we.. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 7cdeb70 | Every man has to learn the points of compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction. Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| d53bffb | This spending of the best part of one's life earning money in order to enjoy a questionable liberty during the least valuable part of it reminds me of the Englishman who went to India to make a fortune first, in order that he might return to England and live the life of a poet. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| a669f07 | Our table was a large piece of freshly peeled birch bark, laid wrong side up, and our breakfast consisted of hard-bread, fried pork, and strong coffee well sweetened, in which we did not miss the milk. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 0d4d570 | A puritan may go to his brown-bread crust with as gross an appetite as ever an alderman to his turtle. Not that food which entereth into the mouth defileth a man, but the appetite with which it is eaten. It is neither the quality nor the quantity, but the devotion to sensual savors; | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 1e4554d | All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be. Perhaps we should never procure a new suit, however ragged or dirty the old, until we have so conducted, so enterprised or sailed in some way, that we feel like new men in the old, and that to retain it would be like keeping new wine in old bottles. Our moulting season, like that of the fowls, must be a crisis in our lives. The loon retires to solitary p.. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 551eb0c | This is all wrapped up in a quote that I have cited many times, which was written back in the 19th century by one of the most influential spiritual masters ever to grace my path. His name is Henry David Thoreau, and his words have always rung sharply in my consciousness: "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." | Wayne W. Dyer | ||
| bfa4049 | If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. --HENRY DAVID THOREAU, WALDEN | Rolf Potts | ||

| fee4000 | Jamas existira un Estado realmente libre e iluminado hasta cuando ese Estado reconozca al individuo como un poder mas alto e independiente, del cual se deriva su propio poder y autoridad y lo trate de acuerdo a ello. Me complace imaginar un Estado que finalmente pueda darse el lujo de ser justo con todos, y que trate al individuo con respecto; mas aun, que no llegue a pensar que es inconsistente con su propia tranquilidad si unos cuantos vi.. | desobediencia-civil estado individuo | Henry David Thoreau | |
| 4bf11ce | Ancient poetry and mythology suggest, at least, that husbandry was once a sacred art; but it is pursued with irreverent haste and heedlessness by us, our object being to have large farms and large crops merely. We have no festival, nor procession, nor ceremony, not excepting our cattle-shows and so-called Thanksgivings, by which the farmer expresses a sense of the sacredness of his calling, or is reminded of its sacred origin. It is the pre.. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| c31a739 | I stopped short in the path today to admire how the trees grow up without forethought regardless of the time and circumstances. They do not wait as men do--now is the golden age of the sapling--Earth, air, sun, and rain, are occasion enough--. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 5b3ecb8 | I do not wish to flatter my townsmen, nor to be flattered by them, for that will not advance either of us. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| d85933c | Dichtung und Mythologie des Altertums deuten darauf hin, dass die Landwirtschaft einst als eine heilige Kunst geubt wurde. Bei uns aber wird sie mit einer unbekummerten, nachlassigen Hast betrieben, die auf nichts anderes bedacht ist, als moglichst grosse Farmen zu besitzen und moglichst grosse Ernten einzubringen. [...] Geiz, Selbstsucht und die wurdelose Angewohnheit, den Boden als Eigentum oder hauptsachlich als Mittel zum Erwerb von Eig.. | Henry David Thoreau | ||
| 52d305a | Nature has no human inhabitant who appreciates her. The birds with their plumage and their notes are in harmony with the flowers, but what youth or maiden conspires with the wild luxuriant beauty of Nature? She flourishes most alone, far from the towns where they reside. Talk of heaven! ye disgrace earth. | Henry David Thoreau |
