If we will be quiet and ready ...

If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment. [Like they say, 'Every cloud has a silver lining'...so if you are patient, expect, anticipate, look and work for some good to come from the cloud, you will be rewarded eventually!]

I derive no pleasure from talking with a young woman simply because she has regular features.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

By avarice and selfishness, and a groveling habit, from which none of us is free, of regarding the soil as property, or the means of acquiring property chiefly, the landscape is deformed, husbandry is degraded with us, and the farmer leads the meanest of lives. He knows Nature but as a robber.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Farmers are respectable and interesting to me in proportion as they are poor.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

All things in this world must be seen with youthful, hopeful eyes.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The prosaic man sees things badly, or with the bodily sense; but the poet sees them clad in beauty, with the spiritual sense.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect. [So why not suspect good rather than bad in events, people and life and thereby find it more?]

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The fault finder will find faults even in paradise and thereby miss the joys that recognition of the positives bring.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It's not what you look at that...

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see - i.e. compare it to, something worse or better, that determines whether you are respectively grateful and happy or ungrateful and bitter.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I am grateful for what I have....

I am grateful for what I have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.

A journal, is a book that shall contain a record of all your joy, your ecstasy, what you are grateful for.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Rise free from care before the dawn and seek adventure. Let the noon find you by other lakes, and the night overtake thee everywhere at home. There are no larger fields than these, no worthier games than may here be played.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Probe the universe in a myriad of points. ... He is a wise man who has taken many views; to whom stones and plants and animals and a myriad of objects have each suggesting something, contributed something.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Before the land rose out of th...

Before the land rose out of the ocean, and became dry land, chaos reigned; and between high and low water mark, where she is partially disrobed and rising, a sort of chaos reigns still, which only anomalous creatures can inhabit.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

As every season seems best to ...

As every season seems best to us in its turn, so the coming in of spring is like the creation of Cosmos out of Chaos and the realization of the Golden Age.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We must have infinite faith in each other. If we have not, we must never let it leak out that we have not.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I saw deep in the eyes of the ...

I saw deep in the eyes of the animals the human soul look out upon me. I saw where it was born deep down under feathers and fur, or condemned for a while to roam four-footed among the brambles,I caught the clinging mute glance of the prisoner and swore that I would be faithful.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Let a slight snow come and cover the earth, and the tracks of men will show how little the woods and fields are frequented.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Faint heart never won true friend. O my friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my friend I may be yours.
