  1. A quotation from Thoreau

    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 (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
    Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 1 “Economy” (1854)
