If we cannot sing of faith and triumph, we will sing our despair. We will be that kind of bird. There are day owls, and there arenight owls, and each is beautiful and even musical while about its business.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We communicate like the burrow...

We communicate like the burrows of foxes, in silence and darkness, under ground. We are undermined by faith and love.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

My actual life is a fact, in v...

My actual life is a fact, in view of which I have no occasion to congratulate myself; but for my faith and aspiration I have respect. It is from these that I speak.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

That we have but little faith ...

That we have but little faith is not sad, but that we have little faithfulness. By faithfulness faith is earned.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are older by faith than by ...

We are older by faith than by experience.

Faith, indeed, is all the refo...

Faith, indeed, is all the reform that is needed; it is itself a reform.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Alas! this is the crying sin o...

Alas! this is the crying sin of the age, this want of faith in the prevalence of a man. Nothing can be effected but by one man. Hewho wants help wants everything. True, this is the condition of our weakness, but it can never be the means of our recovery. We must first succeed alone, that we may enjoy our success together.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The coward wants resolution, w...

The coward wants resolution, which the brave man can do without. He recognizes no faith above a creed, thinking this straw by which he is moored does him good service, because his sheet anchor does not drag.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Each reaching and aspiration i...

Each reaching and aspiration is an instinct with which all nature consists and cГ¶operates, and therefore it is not in vain. But alas! each relaxing and desperation is an instinct too. To be active, well, happy, implies courage. To be ready to fight in a duel or a battle implies desperation, or that you hold your life cheap.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The state does not demand just...

The state does not demand justice of its members, but thinks that it succeeds very well with the least degree of it, hardly more than rogues practice; and so do the neighborhood and the family. What is commonly called Friendship even is only a little more honor among rogues.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

My Friend is that one whom I can associate with my choicest thought.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is equally impossible to forget our Friends, and to make them answer to our ideal. When they say farewell, then indeed we beginto keep them company. How often we find ourselves turning our backs on our actual Friends, that we may go and meet their ideal cousins.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We never exchange more than th...

We never exchange more than three words with a Friend in our lives on that level to which our thoughts and feelings almost habitually rise.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is impossible to say all th...

It is impossible to say all that we think, even to our truest Friend. We may bid him farewell forever sooner than complain, for our complaint is too well grounded to be uttered.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There is on the earth no insti...

There is on the earth no institution which Friendship has established; it is not taught by any religion; no scripture contains itsmaxims. It has no temple, nor even a solitary column. There goes a rumor that the earth is inhabited, but the shipwrecked mariner has not seen a footprint on the shore. The hunter has found only fragments of pottery and the monuments of inhabitants.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

For a companion, I require one...

For a companion, I require one who will make an equal demand on me with my own genius. Such a one will always be rightly tolerant.It is suicide, and corrupts good manners, to welcome any less than this. I value and trust those who love and praise my aspiration rather than my performance. If you would not stop to look at me, but look whither I am looking, and farther, then my education could not dispense with your company.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A true Friendship is as wise a...

A true Friendship is as wise as it is tender. The parties to it yield implicitly to the guidance of their love, and know no otherlaw nor kindness.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nothing but great antiquity can make graveyards interesting to me. I have no friends there.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Our actual Friends are but distant relations of those to whom we are pledged.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Friendship takes place between...

Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail.... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act.
