Quote of the Day - Henry David Thoreau

I got A Civil Disobedience for free on Kindle a few weeks ago...so what else am I going to read in Kansas City after everyone else has gone to bed?

Here's a quote that kept my mind awake when my body wanted to sleep:

"A very few-- as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men-- serve the state with their consciences also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part; and they are commonly treated as enemies by it."
