Quote #12 on Education Struggle Quotes >> Learning and Philosophy
“Let not the faithful sorrow that he has no ear for the more fickle and subtle harmonies of creation, if he be awake to the slower measure of virtue and truth. If his pulse does not beat in unison with the musician's quips and turns, it accords with the pulse-beat of the ages.”
Source: "The Service," by Henry David Thoreau, 1860. Part II.
