More quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
If we dealt only with the false and dishonest, we should at last forget how to speak truth.
Henry David Thoreau
Every oak tree started out as a couple of nuts who stood their ground.
Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau

Henry David Thoreau
I make myself rich by making my wants few.
Henry David Thoreau
The ears were made, not for such trivial uses as men are wont to suppose, but to hear celestial sounds.
Henry David Thoreau
We inspire friendship in men when we have contracted friendship with the gods.
Henry David Thoreau
It is strange to talk of miracles, revelations, inspiration, and the like, as things past, while love remains.
Henry David Thoreau
We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.
Henry David Thoreau
Men have become the tools of their tools.
Henry David Thoreau
All change is a miracle to contemplate, but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.
Henry David Thoreau
The only people who ever get anyplace interesting are the people who get lost.
Henry David Thoreau
Of what significance are the things you can forget.
Henry David Thoreau
It is surprising how many great men and women a small house will contain.
Henry David Thoreau
