Why should we be startled by death? Life is a constant putting off of the mortal coil - coat, cuticle, flesh and bones, all old clothes.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

As far back as I can remember I have unconsciously referred to the experiences of a previous state of existence.

I lived in Judea eighteen hundred years ago, but I never knew that there was such a one as Christ among my contemporaries.

Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident. It is as common as life.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

But government in which the majority rule in all cases can not be based on justice, even as far as men understand it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Trade and commerce, if they were not made of Indian rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles which legislators are continually putting in their way.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Most of the luxuries and many ...

Most of the luxuries and many of the so-called comforts of life are not only not indispensable but positive hindrances to our progress. Our life is frittered away by detail. I say let your affairs be as two or three, not a hundred or a thousand. And keep your accounts on your thumb nail.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I am amused to see from my window here how busily a man has divided and staked off his domain. God must smile at his puny fences running hither and thither everywhere over the land.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A man receives only what he is ready to receive... The phenomenon or fact that cannot in any wise be linked with the rest of what he has observed, he does not observe.

All perception of truth is the detection of an analogy.

When our life ceases to be inward and private, conversation degenerates into mere gossip.

So our human life but dies down to its root, and still puts forth its green blade to eternity.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We discover a new world every time we see the earth again after it has been covered for a season with snow.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

My desire for knowledge is intermittent; but my desire to commune with the spirit of the universe, to be intoxicated with the fumes, call it, of that divine nectar, to bear my head through atmospheres and over heights unknown to my feet, is perennial and constant.

Cultivate the habit of early rising. It is unwise to keep the head long on a level with the feet.

Who could believe in the prophecies ... that the world would end this summer, while one milkweed with faith matured its seeds.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I love you not as something private and personal, which is my own, but as something universal and worthy of love which I have found.

Removing the weeds, putting fresh soil about the bean stems, and encouraging this weed which I had sown, making the yellow soil express its summer thought in bean leaves and blossoms rather than in wormwood and piper and millet grass, making the earth say beans instead of grass, - this was my daily work ....

A man has not seen a thing who has not felt it.
