Henry David Thoreau
Compliments and flattery oftenest excite my contempt by the pretension they imply for who is he that assumes to flatter me? To compliment often implies an assumption of superiority in the complimenter. It is, in fact, a subtle detraction.
Henry David Thoreau
There are theoretical reformers at all times, and all the world over, living on anticipation.
Henry David Thoreau
Let go of the past and go for the future.
Henry David Thoreau
