Song of
the Open Road (from Leaves of Grass, by Walt
Whitman)
"Camerado,
I give you my hand!
I give you my love more precious than money,
I give you myself before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself? will you come travel with me?
Shall we stick by each other as long as we live?"

Walden and Civil
Disobedience
(by Henry David Thoreau)
"The mass of men lead lives of quiet
desperation."
"If the day and the nights are such that you greet them with
joy,
and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet scented
herbs,
is more elastic, more starry, more immortal, - that is your
success."
"It is a
little star-dust caught,
a segment of the rainbow which I have clutched."

Ecclesiastes (The Preacher)
"I know that
there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy
themselves as long as they live; moreover, it is God�s gift
that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their
toil".
"Two are
better than one, because they have a good reward for their
toil.
For if they fall, one will lift up the other;
... Again,
if two lie together, they keep warm; but how can one keep
warm alone?"
