My early years were shaped by the books that I read. One of my
favorite authors was Henry David Thoreau. Many people find him too
judgmental of the vices of others. I found that he spoke from the
heart and had the same visions as I do. Even if he did die 101
years before I was born. Here are a few of his more famous quotes.
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. Be true to
your work, your word, and your friend. Cultivate the habit of early
rising. It is unwise to keep the head long on a level with the
feet.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life. Aim
above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life
you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the
universe will be simpler.
He enjoys true leisure who has time to improve his soul's estate.
I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I
was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more
distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any
epaulet I could have worn.
Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink,
taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.
Most are engaged in business the greater part of their lives,
because the soul abhors a vacuum and they have not discovered any
continuous employment for man's nobler faculties.
Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a
trout in the milk.
Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for
it.
That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.
Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place
for a just man is in prison.
What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet
to put it on?
It is never too late to give up our prejudices. Beware of all
enterprises that require new clothes. I say beware of all
enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer
of clothes.
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to
front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not
learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover
that I had not lived.
If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is
because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music
which he hears, however measured or far away. Our houses are such
unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed
in them.
