"Thoreau was a great writer, philosopher, poet, and withal a most
practical man, that is, he taught nothing he was not prepared to
practise in himself. ... He went to gaol for the sake of his principles
and suffering humanity. His essay has, therefore, been sanctified by
suffering. Moreover, it is written for all time. Its incisive logic is
unanswerable." - Mohandas Gandhi
