constructed their
dwellings with their own
hands, and provided food
for themselves and
families simply and
honestly enough, the

18. “…I went to the woods
because I wished to live
deliberately, to front only
the essential facts of life,
and if I could not learn

discover that I had not
lived.”

20. “It lives too fast. Men
think that it is essential
that the Nation have

miles an hour, without a
doubt, whether they do or
not; but whether we
should live like baboons
or like men, is a little
uncertain.

how easily and

beaten track for
ourselves.”
