Investing........................

      Our whole life is startlingly moral.  There is never an instant's truce between virtue and vice.  Goodness is the only investment that never fails.   In the music of the harp which trembles round the world it is the insisting on this which thrills us.   The harp is the travelling patterer for the Universe's Insurance Company, recommending its laws, and our little goodness is all the assessment that we pay.  Though the youth at last grows indifferent, the laws of the universe are not indifferent, but are forever on the side of the most sensitive.   Listen to every zephyr for some reproof, for it is surely there, and he is unfortunate who does not hear it.
-Henry David Thoreau, as excerpted from Walden
