The only wealth is life.

However mean your life is, mee...

However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are the richest.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If words were invented to conceal thought, newspapers are a great improvement of a bad invention.

In the long run, we only hit what we aim at.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The words which express our fa...

The words which express our faith and piety are not definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like frankincense to superior natures.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Pity the man who has a character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is silent poor indeed.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The purity men love is like th...

The purity men love is like the mists which envelope the earth, and not like the azure ether beyond.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The mass of men lead lives of ...

The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation . . . . A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.

A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind.

The universe seems bankrupt as soon as we begin to discuss the characters of individuals.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I have no doubt that it is a p...

I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals, as surely as the savage tribes have left off eating each other when they came in contact with the more civilized.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

All voting is a sort of gaming...

All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Through want of enterprise and faith men are where they are, buying and selling and spending their lives like servants.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I do not know how to distinguish between our waking life and a dream. Are we not always living the life that we imagine we are?

Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Superfluous wealth can buy superfluities only. Money is not required to buy one necessary of the soul.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
