Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
I am a citizen of the world first, and of this country at a later and more convenient hour.
Henry David Thoreau
It would surpass the powers of a well man nowadays to take up his bed and walk, and I should certainly advise a sick one to lay down his bed and run.
Henry David Thoreau
If you would feel the full force of a tempest, take up your residence on the top of Mount Washington, or at the Highland Light, inTruro.
Henry David Thoreau
It is the man determines what is said, not the words.
Henry David Thoreau
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land there is no other life but this.
Henry David Thoreau
Do what nobody else can do for you. Omit to do anything else.
Henry David Thoreau
