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

We falsely attribute to men a determined character - putting together all their yesterdays - and averaging them - we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is the silent poor indeed.

We cannot well do without our sins; they are the highway of our virtue.

Talk about slavery! It is not ...

Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because

Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American government can make, or such as it can make a man with its black arts - a mere shadow and reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, and already, as one may say, buried under arms with funeral accompaniments.

Shall I not rejoice also at the abundance of the weeds whose seeds are the granary of the birds?

You must not only aim right, but draw the bow with all your might.

The way by which you may get money almost without exception leads downward.

Almost any man knows how to earn money, but not one in a million knows how to spend it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The knowledge of an unlearned ...

The knowledge of an unlearned man is living and luxuriant like a forest, but covered with mosses and lichens and for the most part inaccessible and going to waste; the knowledge of the man of science is like timber collected in yards for public works, which still supports a green sprout here and there, but even this is liable to dry rot.

Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.

If I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must first see, at least, that I do not pursue them sitting upon another man's shoulders. I must get off him first, that he may pursue his contemplations too.
