Henry David Thoreau, 1854
Quote
© Words & Wisdom, 1854
Henry David Thoreau (American, 1817–1862) was a 19th century essayist, naturalist, and philosopher; best known for Walden and his advocacy of civil disobedience. This line from Walden (1854) can be read quite literally - every child brings a fresh start to the world - but it also carries a deeper resonance: each of us holds the potential to begin again. A beautiful sentiment for births, birthdays, reinventions, or any moment of meaningful renewal.
This quote dates from 1854.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
