Famous Quotes & Sayings

Henry David Thoreau

My neighbors tell me of their adventures with famous gentlemen and ladies, what notabilities they met at the dinner-table; but I am no more interested in such things than in the contents of the Daily Times.

Henry David Thoreau

If your life is not that of an adventure, of a search into the unknown, then you are living in vain.

Tacitus

Reckless adventure is the fool's hazard.
