The Thoreau Society has described Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) as a “seminal American author, poet, philosopher, ecologist, pencil-maker, surveyor, conservationist, cartographer, ethnologist, botanist, ornithologist, moralist, limnologist, geologist, reformer, flute player, ice skater, (and) visionary.” Not to mention an eminently quotable fellow.
"Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail."
