Some are reputed sick and some are not. It often happens that the sicker man is the nurse to the sounder.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There never was and is not likely soon to be a nation of philosophers, nor am I certain it is desirable that there should be.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I have thought there was some...

I have thought there was some advantage even in death, by which we mingle with the herd of common men.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Great men, unknown to their g...

Great men, unknown to their generation, have their fame among the great who have preceded them, and all true worldly fame subsides from their high estimate beyond the stars.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Generally speaking, a howling...

Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Nature puts no question and a...

Nature puts no question and answers none which we mortals ask. She has long ago taken her resolution.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are eager to tunnel under ...

We are eager to tunnel under the Atlantic and bring the Old World some weeks nearer to the New, but perchance the first news that will leak through into the broad, flapping American ear will be that the Princess Adelaide has the whooping cough.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The fibers of all things have...

The fibers of all things have their tension and are strained like the strings of an instrument.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The language of excitement is...

The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Only he is successful in his business who makes that pursuit which affords him the highest pleasure sustain him.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

God reigns when we take a liberal view, when a liberal view is presented to us.

In the meanest are all the materials of manhood, only they are not rightly disposed.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

There is danger that we lose ...

There is danger that we lose sight of what our friend is absolutely, while considering what she is to us alone.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

How can any man be weak who dares to be at all?

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Being is the great explainer....

Being is the great explainer.

The law will never make a man...

The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free.

I often visited a particular plant four or five miles distant, half a dozen times within a fortnight, that I might know exactly when it opened.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

You must live in the present,...

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this, or the like of this. I wish to live ever as to derive my satisfactions and inspirations from the commonest events, everyday phenomena, so that what my senses hourly perceive, my daily walk, the conversation of my neighbors, may inspire me, and I may dream of no heaven but that which lies about me.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

What lies before us and what ...

What lies before us and what lies behind us are small matters compared to what lies within us.
And when we bring what is within out into the world, miracles happen.
