All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors for to dwell long upon them is to add to the offense, and repentance and sorrow can only be displaced by somewhat better, and which is as free and original as if they had not been.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Being is the great explainer....

Being is the great explainer.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Give me the old familiar world, post-office and all, with this ever new self, with this infinite expectation and faith, which does not know when it is beaten.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The fault-finder will find fau...

The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.

Thought is the sculptor who can create the person you want to be.

In the long run, you hit only what you aim at.

Your religion is where your love is.

It is the marriage of the soul with nature that makes the intellect fruitful, and gives birth to imagination

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We need the tonic of wildness and...nature.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Whenever I have read any part ...

Whenever I have read any part of the Vedas, I have felt that some unearthly and unknown light illuminated me. In the great teaching of the Vedas, there is no touch of sectarianism. It is of all ages, climbs, and nationalities and is the royal road for the attainment of the Great Knowledge. When I read it, I feel that I am under the spangled heavens of a summer night.

A town is saved, not more by the righteous men in it, than by the woods and swamps that surround it.

The improved means to the unimproved end.

What a fool he must be who thinks that his El Dorado is anywhere but where he lives.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The greatest gains and values ...

The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The life without men praise an...

The life without men praise and regard as successful is but one kind. Why should we exaggerate any one kind at the expense of the others?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If one doubts whether Grecian ...

If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There is no doubt that the lof...

There is no doubt that the loftiest written wisdom is either rhymed or in some way musically measured,--is, in form as well as substance, poetry; and a volume which should contain the condensed wisdom of mankind need not have one rhythmless line.
