More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
By what a delicate and far-stretched contribution every island is made! What an enterprise of nature thus to lay the foundations of and to build up the future continent, of golden and silver sands and the ruins of forests, with ant-like industry.
Henry David Thoreau
Furniture! Thank God, I can sit and I can stand without the aid of a furniture warehouse.
Henry David Thoreau
Being is the great explainer.
Henry David Thoreau
Every man casts a shadow not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
Henry David Thoreau
Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever?
Henry David Thoreau
If you see a man approaching you with the obvious intent of doing you good, you should run for your life.
Henry David Thoreau
Thank God, they cannot cut down the clouds!
Henry David Thoreau
We have built for this world a family mansion, and the next a family tomb. The best works of art are the expression of man's struggle to free himself from this condition, but the effect of our art is merely to make this low state comfortable and that higher state to be forgotten.
Henry David Thoreau
All good things are cheap: all bad are very dear.
Henry David Thoreau
The world is a strange place for a playhouse to stand within it.
Henry David Thoreau
Not till we are lost, in other words not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves, and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.
Henry David Thoreau
One may be drunk with love without being any nearer to finding his mate.
Henry David Thoreau
Morning work! By the blushes of Aurora and the music of Memnon, what should be man's morning work in this world?
Henry David Thoreau
Methinks my own soul must be a bright invisible green.
Henry David Thoreau
I never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude.
Henry David Thoreau
Love your life, poor as it is.
Henry David Thoreau
Life isn't about finding yourself it's about creating yourself. So live the life you imagined.
Henry David Thoreau
A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority it is not even a minority then but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight.
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
The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.
Henry David Thoreau
