More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
The tree of Knowledge is a Tree of Knowledge of good and evil.
Henry David Thoreau
Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence.
Henry David Thoreau
I think it would be worth the while to introduce a school of children to such [an oak grove], that they may get an idea of the primitive oaks before they are all gone, instead of hiring botanists to lecture to them when it is too late.
Henry David Thoreau
There is no just and serene criticism as yet.
Henry David Thoreau
It is remarkable that almost all speakers and writers feel it to be incumbent on them, sooner or later, to prove or acknowledge the personality of God. Some Earl of Bridgewater, thinking it better late than never, has provided for it in his will. It is a sad mistake.
Henry David Thoreau
Every day a new picture is painted and framed, held up for half an hour, in such lights as the Great Artist chooses, and then withdrawn, and the curtain falls. And then the sun goes down, and long the afterglow gives light.
Henry David Thoreau
Why look in the dark for light?
Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
Faith, indeed, is all the reform that is needed it is itself a reform.
Henry David Thoreau
Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house.
Henry David Thoreau
I am grateful for what I have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.
Henry David Thoreau
God is alone,-but the devil, he is far from being alone he sees a great deal of company he is legion.
Henry David Thoreau
One should be always on the trail of one's own deepest nature. For it is the fearless living out of your own essential nature that connects you to the Divine.
Henry David Thoreau
After all, I believe it is the style of thought entirely, and the style of expression, which makes the difference in books.
Henry David Thoreau
In the wilderness is the salvation of the world.
Henry David Thoreau
It is a characteristic of wisdom not to do desperate things.
Henry David Thoreau
The fishermen say that the thundering of the pond scares the fishes and prevents their biting.
Henry David Thoreau
Music is the crystallization of sound.
Henry David Thoreau
