Let us first be as simple and well as Nature ourselves, dispel the clouds which hang over our brows, and take up a little life into our pores. Do not stay to be an overseer of the poor, but endeavor to become one of the worthies of the world.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In any weather, at any hour o...

In any weather, at any hour of the day or night, I have been anxious to improve the nick of time, and notch it on my stick too; to stand on the meeting of two eternities, the past and future, which is precisely the present moment; to toe that line.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Music never stops; it is only...

Music never stops; it is only the listening that is intermittent.

Health requires this relaxation, this aimless life. This life in the present.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

How full of the creative genius is the air in which these [snowflakes] are generated! I should hardly admire them more if real stars fell and lodged on my coat. Nature is full of genius. Full of the divinity. So that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.

It is remarkable, but on the whole, perhaps, not to be lamented, that the world is so unkind to a new book. Any distinguished traveler who comes to our shores is likely to get more dinners and speeches of welcome than he can well dispose of, but the best books, if noticed at all, meet with coldness and suspicion, or, what is worse, gratuitous, off-hand criticism.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The science of Humboldt is one thing, poetry is another thing. The poet to-day, notwithstanding all the discoveries of science, and the accumulated learning of mankind, enjoys no advantage over Homer.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

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

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is desirable that a man be...

It is desirable that a man be clad so simply that he can lay his hands on himself in the dark, and that he live in all respects so compactly and preparedly, that, if an enemy take the town, he can, like the old philosopher, walk out the gate empty-handed without anxiety.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Good for the body is the work...

Good for the body is the work of the body, good for the soul the work of the soul, and good for either the work of the other.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nothing can be more useful to...

Nothing can be more useful to a man than a determination not to be hurried.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

My life is like a stroll upon the beach.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Live in each season as it passes: breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit.

The inhabitants of the Cape generally do not complain of their "soil," but will tell you that it is good enough for them to dry their fish on.

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

However much we admire the or...

However much we admire the orator's occasional bursts of eloquence, the noblest written words are commonly as far behind or abovethe fleeting spoken language as the firmament with its stars is behind the clouds.

We can never have enough of nature. We must be refreshed by the sight of inexhaustible vigor.

In winter we lead a more inward life. Our hearts are warm and cheery, like cottages under drifts.

All change is a miracle to contemplate, but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

Humor, however broad and genial, takes a narrower view than enthusiasm.
