+"The tragedy of life is that it gives us wisdom only when it has stolen youth. Health lies in action, and so it graces youth. To be busy is the secret of grace, and half the secret of content. Let us ask the gods not for possessions, but for things to do; happiness is in making things rather than in consuming them. In Utopia, said Thoreau, each would build his own home; and then Suos would come back to the heart of man, as it comes to the bird when it builds its nest." -
