Duty is one and invariable; it requires no impossibilities, nor can it ever be disregarded with impunity.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A man's whole life is taxed fo...

A man's whole life is taxed for the least thing well done. It is its net result.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are ashamed of our fear; fo...

We are ashamed of our fear; for we know that a righteous man would not suspect danger nor incur any. Wherever a man feels fear, there is an avenger.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The very thrills of genius are disorganizing. The body is never quite acclimated to its atmosphere, but how often, succumbs and goes into a decline.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Impulse is, after all, the bes...

Impulse is, after all, the best linguist; its logic, if not conformable to Aristotle, cannot fail to be most convincing.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Let a man take time enough for...

Let a man take time enough for the most trivial deed, though it be but the paring of his nails. The buds swell imperceptibly, without hurry or confusion,--as if the short spring days were an eternity.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In ancient days the Pythagoreans were used to change names with each other,--fancying that each would share the virtues they admired in the other.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are all of us more or less active physiognomists.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The present hour is always wealthiest when it is poorer than the future ones, as that is the pleasantest site which affords the pleasantest prospect.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nothing more strikingly betray...

Nothing more strikingly betrays the credulity of mankind than medicine. Quackery is a thing universal, and universally successful. In this case it becomes literally true that no imposition is too great for the credulity of men.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Homeliness is almost as great ...

Homeliness is almost as great a merit in a book as in a house, if the reader would abide there. It is next to beauty, and a very high art.

At least let us have healthy books.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The book exists for us, perchance, which will explain our miracles and reveal new ones.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

You must have a genius for charity as well as for anything else.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man's features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Even trees do not die without ...

Even trees do not die without a groan.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Let Harlequin be taken with a fit of the colic, and his trappings will have to serve that mood too.

When a soldier is hit by a cannonball, rags are as becoming as purple.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When I would go a-visiting, I find that I go off the fashionable street,--not being inclined to change my dress,--to where man meets man, and not polished shoe meets shoe.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

At death our friends and relatives either draw nearer to us and are found out, or depart farther from us and are forgotten. Friends are as often brought nearer together as separated by death.
