More quotes by Henry David Thoreau
The Ethiopian cannot change his skin nor the leopard his spots.
Henry David Thoreau
We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aid, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.
Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake.
Henry David Thoreau
However mean your life is, meet it and live it.
Henry David Thoreau
At a certain season of our life we are accustomed to consider every spot as the possible site of a house.
Henry David Thoreau
We cannot write well or truly but what we write with gusto.
Henry David Thoreau
The poet will write for his peers alone. He will remember only that he saw truth and beauty from his position, and expect the time when a vision as broad shall overlook the same field as freely.
Henry David Thoreau
It is but too easy to establish another durable and harmonious routine. Immediately all parts of nature consent to it. Only make something to take the place of something, and men will behave as if it was the very thing they wanted.
Henry David Thoreau
Politics is the gizzard of society, full of grit and gravel, and the two political parties are its opposite halves - sometimes split into quarters - which grind on each other. Not only individuals but states have thus a confirmed dyspepsia.
Henry David Thoreau
That government is best which governs not at all and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have.
Henry David Thoreau
If I choose to devote myself to certain labors which yield more real profit, though but little money, they may be inclined to look on me as an idler.
Henry David Thoreau
It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart it being much more sensitive.
Henry David Thoreau
In some pictures of Provincetown the persons of the inhabitants are not drawn below the ankles, so much being supposed to be buried in the sand.
Henry David Thoreau
Why should not a poet's cat be winged as well as his horse?
Henry David Thoreau
It behooves every man to see that his influence is on the side of justice, and let the courts make their own characters.
Henry David Thoreau
Music is the crystallization of sound.
Henry David Thoreau
Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves.
Henry David Thoreau
Bribed with a little sunlight and a few prismatic tints, we bless our Maker, and stave off his wrath with hymns.
Henry David Thoreau
As in many countries precious metals belong to the crown, so here more precious natural objects of rare beauty should belong to the public.
Henry David Thoreau
