More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.
Henry David Thoreau
I fear chiefly lest my expression may not be extravagant enough, may not wander far enough beyond the narrow limit of my daily experience, so as to be adequate to the truth of which I have been convinced.
Henry David Thoreau
Go confidently ... Live the life that you imagined.
Henry David Thoreau
In the long run, we only hit what we aim at.
Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
Any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already.
Henry David Thoreau
Love your life, poor as it is.
Henry David Thoreau
The community has no bribe that will tempt a wise man.
Henry David Thoreau
There is one thought for the field, another for the house. I would have my thoughts, like wild apples, to be food for walkers, and will not warrant them to be palatable if tasted in the house.
Henry David Thoreau
I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do. We may waive just so much care of ourselves as we honestly bestow elsewhere.
Henry David Thoreau
A good book is the plectrum with which our else silent lyres are struck.
Henry David Thoreau
I was determined to know beans.
Henry David Thoreau
Despair and postponement are cowardice and defeat. Men were born to succeed, not to fail.
Henry David Thoreau
be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.
Henry David Thoreau
The hounding of a dog pursuing a fox or other animal in the horizon may have first suggested the notes of the hunting-horn to alternate with and relieve the lungs of the dog. This natural bugle long resounded in the woods of the ancient world before the horn was invented.
Henry David Thoreau
