Books are for the most part willfully and hastily written, as parts of a system to supply a want real or imagined.

Time & Co. are, after all, the only quite honest and trustworthy publishers that we know.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Much is published, but little printed.

Any sincere thought is irresistible.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The word which is best said ca...

The word which is best said came nearest to not being spoken at all, for it is cousin to a deed which the speaker could have better done. Nay, almost it must have taken the place of a deed by some urgent necessity, even by some misfortune, so that the truest writer will be some captive knight, after all. And perhaps the fates had such a design, when, having stored Raleigh so richly with the substance of life and experience, they made him a fast prisoner, and compelled him to make his words his deeds, and transfer to hi

In an ancient and dead language, any recognition of living nature attracts us. These are such sentences as were written while grass grew and water ran. It is no small recommendation when a book will stand the test of mere unobstructed sunshine and daylight.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

All the moral laws are readily...

All the moral laws are readily translated into natural philosophy, for often we have only to restore the primitive meaning of thewords by which they are expressed, or to attend to their literal instead of their metaphorical sense. They are already supernatural philosophy.

Such is the never-failing beauty and accuracy of language, the most perfect art in the world; the chisel of a thousand years retouches it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Give me a sentence which no in...

Give me a sentence which no intelligence can understand. There must be a kind of life and palpitation to it, and under its words akind of blood must circulate forever.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

How shall we account for our p...

How shall we account for our pursuits, if they are original? We get the language with which to describe our various lives out of acommon mint.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The future is too soon the past. So make perseverance your excellence and go confidently in the direction of your dreams.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In my walks, I would fain return to my senses. What business have I in the woods if I am thinking of something out of the woods?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Our whole life is startlingly ...

Our whole life is startlingly moral. There is never an instant's truce between virtue and vice.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Still we live meanly like ants...

Still we live meanly like ants, though the fable tells us we were long ago changed into men.

The civilized man is a more experienced and wiser savage.

I am a happy camper so I guess...

I am a happy camper so I guess I'm doing something right. Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will elude you, but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.

I know a good woman who thinks that her son lost his life because he took to drinking water only.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We love to hear some men speak...

We love to hear some men speak, though we hear not what they say; the very air they breathe is rich and perfumed, and the sound of their voices falls on the ear like the rustling of leaves or the crackling of the fire. They stand many deep.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When we are in health, all sounds fife and drum for us; we hear the notes of music in the air, or catch its echoes dying away when we awake in the dawn.
