Every man casts a shadow; not...

Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The only obligation which I h...

The only obligation which I have a right to assume is to do at any time what I think right.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I am sorry to think that you ...

I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nature is full of genius, full of the divinity; so that not a snowflake escapes its fashioning hand.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If a man walks in the woods f...

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

What is human warfare but jus...

What is human warfare but just this; an effort to make the laws of God and nature take sides with one party.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

How does it become a man to b...

How does it become a man to behave towards the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We must walk consciously only...

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

It is what a man thinks of hi...

It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Do not trouble yourself much ...

Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends... Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There will never be a really ...

There will never be a really free and enlightened State until the State comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its own power and authority are derived, and treats him accordingly.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Thaw with her gentle persuasi...

Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Every day or two, I strolled ...

Every day or two, I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If misery loves company, mise...

If misery loves company, misery has company enough.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The man who goes alone can st...

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When I hear music, I fear no ...

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A truly good book teaches me ...

A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I left the woods for as good ...

I left the woods for as good a reason as I went there. Perhaps it seemed to me that I had several more lives to live and could not spare any more time for that one.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Justice is sweet and musical; but injustice is harsh and discordant.
