Henry David Thoreau

Giving Up, Fear, War

Henry David Thoreau (1942). “Civil Disobedience”, p.11, Hayes Barton Press

Henry David Thoreau (2009). “Walden”, p.64, Cosimo, Inc.

We are ashamed of our fear; for we know that a righteous man would not suspect danger nor incur any. Wherever a man feels fear, there is an avenger.

Henry David Thoreau

Fear, Men, Righteous Man

Henry David Thoreau, John C. Broderick, Robert Sattelmeyer (1981). “Journal”, p.159, Princeton University Press
