Quotes:

1. "Cities and coaches shall never impose on me again; for, behold every solitary dream of mine is rushing to fulfillment. That fancy I had, and hesitated to utter because you would laugh. "

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

2. "What! will you give up the immense advantages reaped from the division of labor, and set every man to make his own shoes, bureau, knife, wagon, sails, and needle? This would be to put men back into barbarism by their own act.' I see no instant prospect of a virtuous revolution; yet I confess, I should not be pained at a change which threatened a loss of some of the luxuries or conveniences of society, if it proceeded from a preference of the agricultural life out of the belief, that our primary duties as men could be better discharged in that calling."
