"The lesson [Henry David Thoreau] had taught himself, and which he tried to teach others, was summed up in the one word 'Simplify.' That meant simplify the outward circumstances of your life, simplify your needs and your ambitions; learn to delight in the simple pleasures which the world of Nature affords. It meant also, scorn public opinion, refuse to accept the common definitions of success, refuse to be moved by the judgment of others. And unlike most who advocate such attitudes, he put them into practice." (Walden and Other Writings by Henry David Thoreau--Edited and with an Introduction by Joseph Wood Krutch, Bantam Books, 1962, P. 1)

Comments Scam
I have been spammed in my comments box on my previous post by Kalar. (Do not click on his link.) I am going to have to add comment moderation, so it will take a while for your comments to show up from now on. Sorry.
Thank you to this photographer for the tug-of-war with the devil vintage postcard photo.
