It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Man cannot afford to be a natu...

Man cannot afford to be a naturalist, to look at Nature directly, but only with the side of his eye. He must look through and beyond her.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I have a deep sympathy with war; it so apes the gait and bearing of the soul.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

After all the field of battle ...

After all the field of battle possesses many advantages over the drawing-room. There at least is no room for pretension or excessive ceremony, no shaking of hands or rubbing of noses, which make one doubt your sincerity, but hearty as well as hard hand-play. It at least exhibits one of the faces of humanity, the former only a mask.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are in great haste to construct a magnetic telegraph from Maine to Texas; but Maine and Texas, it may be, have nothing important to communicate.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are enabled to apprehend at...

We are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us. We can never have enough of nature.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Cast your whole vote, not a pi...

Cast your whole vote, not a piece of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless when it conforms to a majority; but is irresistable when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is something to be able to ...

It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

To be a philosopher is not mer...

To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Renew thyself completely each day.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

To be awake is to be completel...

To be awake is to be completely alive. I have never yet met a man who was quite awake.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Be it life or death, we crave ...

Be it life or death, we crave only reality.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Every path but your own is the path of fate. Keep on your own track, then.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

God is alone,-but the devil, he is far from being alone; he sees a great deal of company; he is legion.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Say what you have to say, not ...

Say what you have to say, not what you ought. Any truth is better than make-believe.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

However mean your life is, meet it and live it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once done well is done forever.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

You must live in the present, ...

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Though I do not believe that a...

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.
