Henry David Thoreau Quote

We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke strops our vice.


A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (ed. 1873)


We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke strops our vice.

We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke strops our vice.

We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke strops our vice.

We are double-edged blades, and every time we whet our virtue the return stroke strops our vice.
