New ideas come into this world...

New ideas come into this world somewhat like falling meteors, with a flash and an explosion.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The traveler must be born agai...

The traveler must be born again on the road, and earn a passport from the elements.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Who hears the fishes when they cry?

Such a man has some right to fish, and I love to see nature carried out in him.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We waded so gently and reveren...

We waded so gently and reverently, or we pulled together so smoothly, that the fishes of thought were not scared from the stream, nor feared any angler on the bank, but came and went grandly, like the clouds which came and went on the western sky, and the mother-o'-pearl flocks which sometimes form and dissolve there.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I confess I was surprised to f...

I confess I was surprised to find that so many men spent their whole day, ay, their whole lives almost, a-fishing. It is remarkable what a serious business men make of getting their dinners, and how universally shiftlessness and a groveling taste take refuge in a merely ant-like industry. Better go without your dinner, I thought, than be thus everlastingly fishing for it like a cormorant. Of course, viewed from the shore, our pursuits in the country appear not a whit less frivolous.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I thought, as I have my living...

I thought, as I have my living to get, and have not eaten today, that I might go a- fishing. That's the true industry for poets. It is the only trade I have learned.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Late in the afternoon we passe...

Late in the afternoon we passed a man on the shore fishing with a long birch pole.... The characteristics and pursuits of various ages and races of men are always existing in epitome in every neighborhood. The pleasures of my earliest youth have become the inheritance of other men. This man is still a fisher, and belongs to an era in which I myself have lived.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

All that is told of the sea ha...

All that is told of the sea has a fabulous sound to an inhabitant of the land and all its products have a certain fabulous quality, as if they belonged to another planet.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There is always some accident ...

There is always some accident in the best things, whether thoughts or expressions or deeds. The memorable thought, the happy expression, the admirable deed are only partly ours.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The cart before the horse is n...

The cart before the horse is neither beautiful nor useful.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I live in the present. I only ...

I live in the present. I only remember the past, and anticipate the future.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Today...the bluebirds, old and...

Today...the bluebirds, old and young, have revisited their box, as if they would fain repeat the summer without intervention of winter, if Nature would let them.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

What recommends commerce to me...

What recommends commerce to me is its enterprise and bravery. It does not clasp its hands and pray to Jupiter.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

What is morality but immemoria...

What is morality but immemorial custom? Conscience is the chief of conservatives.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

You cannot receive a shock unless you have an electric affinity for that which shocks you.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It would be glorious to see mankind at leisure for once. It is nothing but work, work, work.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

As if there were safety in stupidity alone

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Where there is a brave man, in the thickest of the fight, there is the post of honor.
