If a man does not keep pace wi...

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away. It is not important that he should mature as soon as an apple-tree or oak. Shall he turn his spring into summer? If the condition of things which we were made for is not yet, what were any reality which we can substitute? We will not be shipwrecked on a vain reality.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If a man believes and expects ...

If a man believes and expects great things of himself, it makes no odds where you put him, or what you show him . . he will be surrounded by grandeur.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Instead of water we got here a...

Instead of water we got here a draught of beer, a lumberer's drink, which would acclimate and naturalize a man at once,-which would make him see green, and, if he slept, dream that he heard the wind sough among the pines.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

One of the most attractive things about the flowers is their beautiful reserve.

When were the good and the brave ever in a majority?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.

Give me the poverty that enjoys true wealth.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Be sure that you give the poor...

Be sure that you give the poor the aid they most need. If you give money, spend yourself with it, and do not merely abandon it to them. Often the poor man is not cold and hungry as he is dirty and ragged and gross. It is partly his taste, and not merely his misfortune.

Rescue the drowning and tie your shoestrings.

The hero is commonly the simplest and obscurest of men.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

But the place which you have s...

But the place which you have selected for your camp, though never so rough and grim, begins at once to have its attractions, and becomes a very centre of civilization to you: 'Home is home, be it never so homely.'

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We now no longer camp as for a...

We now no longer camp as for a night, but have settled down on earth and forgotten heaven.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The lakes are something which ...

The lakes are something which you are unprepared for; they lie up so high, exposed to the light, and the forest is diminished to a fine fringe on their edges, with here and there a blue mountain, like amethyst jewels set around some jewel of the first water, - so anterior, so superior, to all the changes that are to take place on their shores, even now civil and refined, and fair as they can ever be.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The faultfinder will find faults even in paradise.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A truly good book is something...

A truly good book is something as natural, and as unexpectedly and unaccountably fair and perfect, as a wild-flower discovered on the prairies of the West or in the jungles of the East.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Our last deed, like the young ...

Our last deed, like the young of the land crab, wends its way to the sea of cause and effect as soon as born, and makes a drop there to eternity.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Experience is in the fingers and head. The heart is inexperienced.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

How few things can a man measu...

How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding ; How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

While my friend was my friend,...

While my friend was my friend, he flattered me, and I never heard the truth from him. When he became my enemy, he shot it to me on a poisoned arrow.
