The secret of achievement is ...

The secret of achievement is to hold a picture of a successful outcome in mind.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

If you see a man approaching ...

If you see a man approaching you with the obvious intent of doing you good, you should run for your life.

Since most of us spend our lives doing ordinary tasks, the most important thing is to carry them out extraordinarily well.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

He who walks alone, waits for no-one.

Let go of the past and live the future . . . Live the life you imagined.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

As a single footstep will not...

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

I went to the woods because I...

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

The meeting of two eternities...

The meeting of two eternities, the past and future....is precisely the present moment.

Time is like a handful of sand - the tighter you grasp it, the faster it runs through your fingers.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

In the long run, you hit only what you aim at.

It's the beauty within us that makes it possible for us to recognize the beauty around us. The question is not what you look at but what you see.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them.

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 of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

We are constantly invited to be who we are.

Behave so the aroma of your actions may enhance the general sweetness of the atmosphere.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

A man receives only what he is ready to receive, whether physically or intellectually or morally, as animals conceive at certain seasons their kind only. We hear and apprehend only what we already half know.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

When you knock, ask to see God — none of the servants.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Anyone in a free society where the laws are unjust has an obligation to break the law.

Henry David Thoreau 3216 quotes

Though I do not believe that ...

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

Love must be as much a light as it is a flame.
