More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
We have built for this world a family mansion, and the next a family tomb. The best works of art are the expression of man's struggle to free himself from this condition, but the effect of our art is merely to make this low state comfortable and that higher state to be forgotten.
Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars.
Henry David Thoreau
A simple woman down in Tyngsborough, at whose house I once stopped to get a draught of water, when I said, recognizing the bucket, that I had stopped there nine years before for the same purpose, asked if I was not a traveler, supposing that I had been traveling ever since, and had now come round again.
Henry David Thoreau
Men are as innocent as the morning to the unsuspicious.
Henry David Thoreau
Indeed, the Englishman's history of New England commences only when it ceases to be New France.
Henry David Thoreau
Nature has left nothing to the mercy of man.
Henry David Thoreau
Life isn't about finding yourself it's about creating yourself. So live the life you imagined.
Henry David Thoreau
The opportunities of living are diminished in proportion as what are called the means are increased.
Henry David Thoreau
I have learned that the swiftest traveller is he that goes afoot.
Henry David Thoreau
