When I have met an immigrant tottering under a bundle which contained his all,-looking like an enormous when which had grown out of the nape of his neck.-I have pitied him, not because that was his all, but because he had all that to carry. If I have got to drag my trap, I will take care that it will be a light one and do not nip me in a vital part. But perchance it would be wisest never to put one's paw into it.
- 'Walden' , Henry David Thoreau

it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for the rich man to get into the gates of heaven.

how true is that?
