Our readingWhat is a korrent?
A country's fate depends less on how people vote than on what kind of people they are each day
Drawn from what Henry David Thoreau said
What Henry David Thoreau actually said
- Henry David Thoreau American philosopher and writer (1817 to 1862)
The fate of the country does not depend on how you vote at the polls,-the worst man is as strong as the best at that game; it does not depend on what kind of paper you drop into the ballot-box once a year, but on what kind of man you drop from your chamber into the street every morning.
