Nature spontaneously keeps us ...

Nature spontaneously keeps us well. Do not resist her!

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The earth is not a mere fragme...

The earth is not a mere fragment of dead history, stratum upon stratum like the leaves of a book, to be studied by geologists and antiquaries chiefly, but living poetry like the leaves of a tree, which precede flowers and fruit ~ not a fossil earth, but a living earth; compared with whose great central life all animal and vegetable life is merely parasitic. Its throes will heave our exuviæ from their graves ... You may melt your metals and cast them into the most beautiful moulds you can; they will never excite me lik

Oh to reach the point of death and realize one has not lived at all.

Sometimes you have to leave the world in order to learn how to live in it. Thoreau shunned society, went to the woods, and came back with a new understanding of life.

The man who is dissatisfied with himself, what can he do?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In solitude especialy do we begin to appreciate the advantage of living with someone who can think.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

No method nor discipline can supersede the necessity of being forever on the alert. What is a course of history, or philosophy, or poetry, or the most admirable routine of life, compared with the discipline of looking always at what is to be seen? Will you be a reader, a student merely, or a seer?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In all perception of the truth there is a divine ecstasy, an inexpressible delirium of joy, as when a youth embraces his betrothed virgin.

The only way to speak the truth is to speak lovingly.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Law never made man a whit more...

Law never made man a whit more just; and by means of their respect for it, even the well disposed are daily made agents of injustice.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Poetry is the only life got, the only work done, the only pure product and free labor of man, performed only when he has put all the world under his feet, and conquered the last of his foes.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Yet poetry, though the last an...

Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

My life has been the poem I wo...

My life has been the poem I would have writ,
But I could not both live and utter it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Good poetry seems so simple an...

Good poetry seems so simple and natural a thing that when we meet it we wonder that all men are not always poets. Poetry is nothing but healthy speech.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A man is wise with the wisdom ...

A man is wise with the wisdom of his time only, and ignorant with its ignorance.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The really efficient laborer will be found not to crowd his day with work, but will saunter to his task surrounded by a wide halo of ease and leisure.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If I choose to devote myself t...

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 3216 quotes

You cannot perceive beauty but with a serene mind.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The frontiers are not east or west, north or south, but wherever a man fronts a fact.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

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.
