Quote by Henry David Thoreau
There never was and is not likely soon to be a nation of philosophers, nor am I certain it is desirable that there should be.
Summary
This quote suggests that it is unlikely and perhaps unnecessary for a nation to consist entirely of philosophers. It implies that a nation does not require its entire population to be deeply philosophical or inclined towards abstract thinking. The quote also raises a question about whether it is truly beneficial for a country to have a majority of its population dedicated to philosophy, indicating that there may be a need for a balance of different skills and interests within a society to function effectively.
