Henry David Thoreau
When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.
Henry David Thoreau
When were the good and the brave ever in a majority?
Henry David Thoreau
The condition-of-England question is a practical one. The condition of England demands a hero, not a poet.
Henry David Thoreau
I have seen more men than usual, lately and, well as I was acquainted with one, I am surprised to find what vulgar fellows they are.
Henry David Thoreau
I thought, as I have my living to get, and have not eaten today, that I might go a- fishing. That's the true industry for poets. It is the only trade I have learned.
Henry David Thoreau
You don't know your testament when you see it.
Henry David Thoreau
Man flows at once to God when the channel of purity is open.
Henry David Thoreau
What the first philosopher taught the last will have to repeat.
Henry David Thoreau
I have traveled a good deal in Concord and everywhere, in shops, and offices, and fields, the inhabitants have appeared to me to be doing penance in a thousand remarkable ways.
Henry David Thoreau
