Henry David Thoreau quotes
"In solitude especialy do we begin to appreciate the advantage of living with someone who can think."
"If the day and the night are such that you greet them with with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, more elastic, more starry, more immortal--that is your success."
"Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it."
"I have lived some thirty years on this planet and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors."
"I have learned this at least by my experiment: if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
"Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something."
"Be true to your work, your word, and your friend."
"It takes two to speak the truth--one to speak and the other to hear."
"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."
"I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor."
