Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau
How well-behaved are cows! When they approach me reclining in the shade, from curiosity, or to receive a wisp of grass, or to share the shade, or to lick the dog held up, like a calf, —though just now they ran at him to toss him, —they do not obtrude. Their company is acceptable, for they can endure the longest pause; they have not got to be entertained.
