We soon get through with nature. She excites an expectation which she cannot satisfy.

Of what significance are the things you can forget.

One is wise to cultivate the tree that bears fruit in our soul.

I fear that I have not got much to say about Canada, not having seen much; what I got by going to Canada was a cold.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nature refuses to sympathize with our sorrow. She seems not to have provided for, but by a thousand contrivances against it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

But men labor under a mistake....

But men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon plowed into the soil for compost.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Yet we do not treat ourselves ...

Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When we consider what, to use ...

When we consider what, to use the words of the catechism, is the chief end of man, and what are the true necessaries and means of life, it appears as if men had deliberately chosen the common mode of living because they preferred it to any other. Yet they honestly think there is no choice left.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nowadays almost all man's impr...

Nowadays almost all man's improvements, so called, as the building of houses and the cutting down of the forest and of all large trees, simply deform the landscape, and make it more and more tame and cheap.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The mission of men there seems...

The mission of men there seems to be, like so many busy demons, to drive the forest all out of the country, from every solitary beaver swamp and mountain-side, as soon as possible.

What is sour in the house a bracing walk in the woods makes sweet.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Blessed are they who never read a newspaper, for they shall see Nature, and through her, God.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nature doth thus kindly heal every wound. By the mediation of a thousand little mosses and fungi, the most unsightly objects become radiant of beauty. There seem to be two sides of this world, presented us at different times, as we see things in growth or dissolution, in life or death. And seen with the eye of the poet, as God sees them, all things are alive and beautiful.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I went to the woods because I ...

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to d

We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.

I have no doubt that it is part of the destiny of the human race in it's gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals.

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.

He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise.

Say, Not so, and you will out circle the philosophers.
