Henry David Thoreau Machines Quotations

Every nail driven should be as another rivet in the machine of the universe, you carrying on the work.

The mass of men serve the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their bodies.

Let your life be a counter-friction to stop the machine. What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn.

Let your life be a counter friction to stop the machine.
