Let me so no other conflict but with prosperity. If my path run on before me level and smooth, it is all a mirage; in reality, it is steep and arduous as a chamois pass. I will not let the years roll over me like a Juggernaut car.
The quote was a bit garbled in transcription and should read thus:"Let me see no other conflict but with prosperity" It has to be difficult, Greg, to post these quotes each day, though I think the searching would be a wonderful quest. Thoreau goes on to say: "We will warm us at each other's fire. Friendship is not such a cold refining process as a double sieve, but a glowing furnace in which all impurities are consumed." Another wonderful bit of thought from Thoreau, perhaps for June 25,2007!
