To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.

If it is surely the means to t...

If it is surely the means to the highest end we know, can any work be humble or disgusting? Will it not rather be elevating as a ladder, the means by which we are translated?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is something to be able to ...

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far moreglorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

Fame is not just. She never finely or discriminatingly praises, but coarsely hurrahs.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts; but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around.

Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.

Things do not change; we change.

Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The most I can do for my frien...

The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

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 have not lived.

I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of bein
