A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone. Henry David ThoreauAny fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it. Henry David ThoreauAs if you could kill time without injuring eternity. Henry David ThoreauBe true to your work, your word, and your friend. Henry David ThoreauBooks are the carriers of civilization. Without books, history is silent, literature dumb, science crippled, thought and speculation at a standstill. I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business. Henry David ThoreauCultivate the habit of early rising. It is unwise to keep the head long on a level with the feet. Henry David ThoreauDo not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something. Henry David Thoreau Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it. Henry David Thoreau Every man is the builder of a temple called his body. Henry David Thoreau Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler. Henry David Thoreau He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate. Henry David ThoreauHow vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live. Henry David Thoreau However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts. God will see that you do want society. Henry David ThoreauI know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor. Henry David Thoreau I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn. Henry David Thoreau I stand in awe of my body. Henry David Thoreau If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Henry David ThoreauIf you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them. Henry David ThoreauIf you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see. Henry David ThoreauIf you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see. Henry David ThoreauIn what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world. Henry David ThoreauIn wildness is the preservation of the world. Henry David ThoreauIt is as hard to see one's self as to look backwards without turning around. Henry David ThoreauIt is never too late to give up your prejudices. Henry David ThoreauLive each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each. Henry David ThoreauMen are born to succeed, not fail. Henry David Thoreau Men have become the tools of their tools. Henry David ThoreauMost are engaged in business the greater part of their lives, because the soul abhors a vacuum and they have not discovered any continuous employment for man's nobler faculties. Henry David ThoreauMy friend is one... who take me for what I am. Henry David ThoreauOur life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify. Henry David Thoreau

Victoria, David Beckham Reveal Daughter's Name: Harper Seven

David Beckham revealed the name of his new baby daughter on Sunday a few hours after Victoria gave birth.

"I am so proud and excited to announce the birth of our daughter Harper Seven Beckham. She weighed a healthy 7lbs 10oz and arrived at 7.55 this morning, here in LA. Victoria is doing really well and her brothers are delighted to have a baby sister xx," he wrote on his Facebook page.

PHOTOS: What the Beckhams -- and other notable names -- wore to the royal wedding

Harper Seven is the couple's first daughter. They are parents to three sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, 8, and Cruz, 6.

While they haven't explained the name, "Seven" could be a homage to Beckham's first soccer jersey number when he played for Manchester United and England. He gave up the number when he moved to Spain's Real Madrid because team captain Raúl González already had claimed it.

The Beckhams, who have been married for 12 years, moved to Los Angeles in 2007.
