We need the tonic of wildness...

We need the tonic of wildness...At the same time that we are earnest to explore and learn all things, we require that all things be mysterious and unexplorable, that land and sea be indefinitely wild, unsurveyed and unfathomed by us because unfathomable. We can never have enough of nature.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is true, I never assisted ...

It is true, I never assisted the sun materially in his rising, but doubt not, it was of the last importance only to be present at it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The cart before the horse is ...

The cart before the horse is neither beautiful nor useful.

When my legs begin to move, the thoughts begin to flow.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

My profession is to be always...

My profession is to be always on the alert to find God in nature, to know his lurking-places, to attend all the oratorios, the operas in nature.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The true harvest of my life i...

The true harvest of my life is intangible - a little star dust caught, a portion of the rainbow I have clutched.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Every man looks at his wood-pile with a kind of affection.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Under a government which impr...

Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also in prison, the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor. They do not know how much truth is stronger than error, nor how much more eloquently and effectively he can combat injustice who has experienced a little in his own person. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I would remind my countrymen ...

I would remind my countrymen that they are to be men first, and Americans only at a late and convenient hour.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The gods are partial to no er...

The gods are partial to no era, but steadily shines their light in the heavens, while the eye of the beholder is turned to stone.There was but the sun and the eye from the first. The ages have not added a new ray to the one, nor altered a fibre of the other.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I frequently tramped eight or...

I frequently tramped eight or ten miles through the deepest snow to keep an appointment with a beechtree, or a yellow birch, or an old acquaintance among the pines.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nature doth thus kindly heal ...

Nature doth thus kindly heal every wound. By the mediation of a thousand little mosses and fungi, the most unsightly objects become radiant of beauty. There seem to be two sides of this world, presented us at different times, as we see things in growth or dissolution, in life or death. And seen with the eye of the poet, as God sees them, all things are alive and beautiful.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The truth is, there is money ...

The truth is, there is money buried everywhere, and you have only to go to work to find it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Friendship is evanescent in e...

Friendship is evanescent in every man's experience, and remembered like heat lightning in past summers.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

For one that comes with a pen...

For one that comes with a pencil to sketch or sing, a thousand come with an axe or rifle. What a coarse and imperfect use Indiansand hunters make of nature! No wonder that their race is so soon exterminated.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I believe that water is the o...

I believe that water is the only drink for a wise man: wine is not so noble a liquor; and think of dashing the hopes of a morningwith a cup of warm coffee, or of an evening with a dish of tea! Ah, how low I fall when I am tempted by them! Even music may be intoxicating. Such apparently slight causes destroyed Greece and Rome, and will destroy England and America.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nature refuses to sympathize ...

Nature refuses to sympathize with our sorrow. She seems not to have provided for, but by a thousand contrivances against it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Poetry cannot breathe in the ...

Poetry cannot breathe in the scholar's atmosphere.

The movements of the eyes express the perpetual and unconscious courtesy of the parties.

The universe expects every man to do his duty in his parallel of latitude.
