"I must remain a child and pupil of the Catechism, and am glad so to remain."

Previous Quote

When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left.

— Henry David Thoreau
