More quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Image
What is the singing of birds, or any natural sound, compared with the voice of one we love.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
All misfortune is but a stepping stone to fortune.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
We are apt to imagine that this hubbub of Philosophy, Literature, and Religion, which is heard in pulpits, lyceums, and parlors, vibrates through the universe, and is as catholic a sound as the creaking of the earth's axle. But if a man sleeps soundly, he will forget it all between sunset and dawn.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Let us consider under what disadvantages Science has hitherto labored before we pronounce thus confidently on her progress.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
We hate the kindness which we understand.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
If I ever see more clearly at one time than at another, the medium through which I see is clearer.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I would give all the wealth of the world, and all the deeds of all the heroes, for one true vision.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Keep up the fires of thought, and all will go well.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Men go to a fire for entertainment. When I see how eagerly men will run to a fire, whether in warm or in cold weather, by day or by night, dragging an engine at their heels, I'm astonished to perceive how good a purpose the level of excitement is made to serve.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Generally speaking, the political news, whether domestic or foreign, might be written today for the next ten years with sufficientaccuracy. Most revolutions in society have not power to interest, still less alarm us but tell me that our rivers are drying up, or the genus pine dying out in the country, and I might attend.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
If I thought that I could speak with discrimination and impartiality of the nations of Christendom, I should praise them, but it tasks me too much. They seem to be the most civil and humane, but I may be mistaken.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The news we hear, for the most part, is not news to our genius. It is the stalest repetition.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
One can hardly imagine a more healthful employment, or one more favorable to contemplation and the observation of nature.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
We go on dating from Cold Fridays and Great Snows but a little colder Friday, or greater snow would put a period to man's existence on the globe.
Henry David Thoreau
Image
The Great Snow! How cheerful it is to hear of!
Henry David Thoreau
Image
We need only travel enough to give our intellects an airing.
Henry David Thoreau

I say, break the law.
