More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
To live a better life,--this surely can be done.
Henry David Thoreau
Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.
Henry David Thoreau
Your religion is where your love is.
Henry David Thoreau
The opportunities of living are diminished in proportion as what are called the means are increased.
Henry David Thoreau
The law will never make a man free it is men who have got to make the law free.
Henry David Thoreau
Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.
Henry David Thoreau
A man will not need to study history to find out what is best for his own culture.
Henry David Thoreau
I have always been regretting that I was not as wise as the day I was born.
Henry David Thoreau
One may discover a new side to his most intimate friend when for the first time he hears him speak in public. He will be stranger to him as he is more familiar to the audience. The longest intimacy could not foretell how he would behave then
Henry David Thoreau
I do not judge men by anything they can do. Their greatest deed is the impression they make on me.
Henry David Thoreau
. . . we should be men first, and subjects afterward.
Henry David Thoreau
It is reasonable that a man should be something worthier at the end of the year than he was at the beginning.
Henry David Thoreau
Each humblest plant, or weed, as we call it, stands there to express some thought or mood of ours and yet how long it stands in vain!... Beauty and true wealth are always thus cheap and despised.
Henry David Thoreau
Good deeds are no less good because their object is unworthy.
Henry David Thoreau
Bankruptcy and repudiation are the springboards from which much of our civilization vaults and turns its somersets, but the savagestands on the unelastic plank of famine.
Henry David Thoreau
Even Nature is observed to have her playful moods or aspects, of which man sometimes seems to be the sport.
Henry David Thoreau
One who knew how to appropriate the true value of this world would be the poorest man in it. The poor rich man! all he has is whathe has bought.
Henry David Thoreau
Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.
Henry David Thoreau
The fact is, mental philosophy is very like Poverty, which, you know, begins at home and indeed, when it goes abroad, it is poverty itself.
Henry David Thoreau
The greatest and saddest defect is not credulity, but an habitual forgetfulness that our science is ignorance.
Henry David Thoreau
