I have myself to respect, but ...

I have myself to respect, but to myself I am not amiable; but my friend is my amiableness personified.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Friendship is the unspeakable ...

Friendship is the unspeakable joy and blessing that result to two or more individuals who from constitution sympathize. Such natures are liable to no mistakes, but will know each other through thick and thin. Between two by nature alike and fitted to sympathize, there is no veil, and there can be no obstacle. Who are the estranged? Two friends explaining.

We inspire friendship in men when we have contracted friendship with the gods.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We only need to be as true to ...

We only need to be as true to others as we are to ourselves, that there may be grounds enough for friendship.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is not when I am going to meet him, but when I am just turning away and leaving him alone, that I discover what God is. I say, God. I am not sure that that is the name. You will know what I mean.

If we see nature as pausing, immediately all mortifies and decays; but seen as progressing, she is beautiful.

Our sadness is not sad, but our cheap joys.

Simplicity is the law of Nature for man as well as for flowers. When the tapestry (corolla) of the nuptial bed (calyx) is excessive, luxuriant, it is unproductive. The fertile flowers are single, not double.

Solitude is not measured by th...

Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The really diligent student in one of the crowded hives of Cambridge college is as solitary as a dervis in the desert.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

As all curves have reference t...

As all curves have reference to their centres or foci, so all beauty of character has reference to the soul, and is a graceful gesture of recognition or waving of the body toward it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There may be something petty i...

There may be something petty in a refined taste; it easily degenerates into effeminacy. It does not consider the broadest use. It is not content with simple good and bad, and so is fastidious and curious or nice only.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I have climbed several higher ...

I have climbed several higher mountains without guide or path, and have found, as might be expected, that it takes only more time and patience commonly than to travel the smoothest highway.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Truth never turns to rebuke falsehood; her own straightforwardness is the severest correction.

. . . I was rich, if not in money, in sunny hours and summer days. . . .

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Wealth cannot purchase any great private solace or convenience. Riches are only the means of sociality.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When was it that men agreed to respect the appearance and not the reality?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We cannot but pity the boy who has never fired a gun; he is no more humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When some of my friends have a...

When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether they should let them hunt, I have answered yes-- remembering that it was one of the best parts of my education-- make them hunters.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In what concerns you much, do ...

In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.
