More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
find your eternity in each moment
Henry David Thoreau
Real power is measured by how much you can let things be.
Henry David Thoreau
You cannot hear music and noise at the same time.
Henry David Thoreau
We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.
Henry David Thoreau
A man can suffocate on courtesy.
Henry David Thoreau
It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.
Henry David Thoreau
Every man is the builder of a temple called his body.
Henry David Thoreau
Is not disease the rule of existence? There is not a lily pad floating on the river but has been riddled by insects. Almost every shrub and tree has its gall, oftentimes esteemed its chief ornament and hardly to be distinguished from the fruit. If misery loves company, misery has company enough. Now, at midsummer, find me a perfect leaf or fruit.
Henry David Thoreau
I found in myself, and still find, an instinct toward a higher, or, as it is named, spiritual life, as do most men, and another toward a primitive rank and savage one, and I reverence them both. I love the wild not less than the good.
Henry David Thoreau
The man whose horse trots a mile in a minute does not carry the most important messages.
Henry David Thoreau
There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
Henry David Thoreau
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
Henry David Thoreau
I have not earned what I have already enjoyed.
Henry David Thoreau
If you will not try, you will go to your grave with your song still inside you.
Henry David Thoreau
Let every one mind his own business, and endeavor to be what he was made.
Henry David Thoreau
People die of fright and live of confidence.
Henry David Thoreau
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
Henry David Thoreau
There is such a thing as caste, even in the West but it is comparatively faint it is conservatism here. It says, forsake not your calling, outrage no institution, use no violence, rend no bonds the State is thy parent. Its virtue or manhood is wholly filial.
Henry David Thoreau
When a noble deed is done, who is likely to appreciate it? They who are noble themselves.
Henry David Thoreau
The laboring man has not leisure for a true integrity day by day.
Henry David Thoreau
