Not that the story need be long, but it will take a long while to make it short.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In accumulating property for o...

In accumulating property for ourselves or our posterity, in founding a family or a state, or acquiring fame even, we are mortal; but in dealing with truth we are immortal, and need fear no change nor accident.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Spring-an experience in immortality.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I wish to suggest that a man m...

I wish to suggest that a man may be very industrious, and yet not spend his time well. There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living. All great enterprises are self-supporting. The poet, for instance, must sustain his body by his poetry, as a steam planing-mill feeds its boilers with the shavings it makes. You must get your living by loving.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A man may acquire a taste for wine or brandy, and so lose his love for water, but should we not pity him.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is dry, hazy June weather. ...

It is dry, hazy June weather. We are more of the earth, farther from heaven these days.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

One attraction in coming to the woods to live was that I should have leisure and opportunity to see the spring come in.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We saw men haying far off in the meadow, their heads waving like the grass which they cut. In the distance the wind seemed to bend all alike.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We need the tonic of the wilderness, to wade sometimes in the marsh where the bitten and the meadow hen lurk, and hear the booming of the snipe; to smell the whispering sedge where only some wilder and more solitary fowl builds her nest, and the mink crawls with its belly close to the ground.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The eye which can appreciate the naked and absolute beauty of a scientific truth is far more rare than that which is attracted by a moral one.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I do not see why the schoolmaster should be taxed to support the priest, and not the priest the schoolmaster.

My friend is one... who take me for what I am.

No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof.

To be awake is to be alive.

When will the world learn that a million men are of no importance compared with one man?

Anyone in a free society where the laws are unjust has an obligation to break the law.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

As for the pyramids, there is ...

As for the pyramids, there is nothing to wonder at in them so much as the fact that so many men could be found degraded enough to spend their lives constructing a tomb for some ambitious booby, whom it would have been wiser and manlier to have drowned in the Nile, and then given his body to the dogs.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If a thousand men were not to pay their tax-bills this year, that would ... [be] the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such is possible.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The authority of government . ...

The authority of government . . . can have no pure right over my person and property but what I concede to it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

You think that I am impoverishing myself withdrawing from men, but in my solitude I have woven for myself a silken web or chrysalis, and, nymph-like, shall ere long burst forth a more perfect creature, fitted for a higher society.
