Friends... they cherish one another’s hopes. They are kind to one another’s dreams. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I am awaked almost every night by the panting of the locomotive. It interrupts my dreams. There is no sabbath. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I make it my business to extract from Nature what ever nutriment she can furnish me.... I milk the sky and the earth. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
There is an orientalism in the most restless pioneer, and the farthest west is but the farthest east. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
There is a difference between eating and drinking for strength and from mere gluttony (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust, and when sometimes I have stolen forth for a walk at the eleventh hour of four o’clock in the afternoon, too late to redeem the day, when the shades of night were already beginning to be mingled with the daylight, have felt as if I had committed some sin to be atoned for. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Who could believe in the prophecies ... that the world would end this summer, while one milkweed with faith matured its seeds. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
How many things are now at loose ends! Who knows which way the wind will blow tomorrow? (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It is truly enough said that a corporation has no conscience, but a corporation of conscientious men is a corporation with a conscience. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I have an immense appetite for solitude, like an infant for sleep, and if I don’t get enough for this year, I shall cry all the next. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
If you can’t explain it to a six year old, you don’t understand it yourself. Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I cannot believe that our factory system is the best mode by which men may get clothing. The condition of the operatives is becoming every day more like that of the English; and it cannot be wondered at, since, as far as I have heard or observed, the principal object is, not that mankind may be well and honestly clad, but, unquestionably, that the corporations may be enriched. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I think the fall from the farmer to the operative as great and memorable as that from the man to the farmer. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Pity the man who has a character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is silent poor indeed. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
In some countries a hunting parson is no uncommon sight. Such a one might make a good shepherd’s dog, but is far from being the Good Shepherd. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Every man is the builder of a temple, called his body, to the God he worships, after a style purely his own, nor can he get off by hammering marble instead. We are all sculptors and painters, and our material is our own flesh and blood and bones. Any nobleness begins at once to refine a man’s features, any meanness or sensuality to imbrute them. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)

Wherever a man separates from the multitude, and goes his own way in this mood, there indeed is a fork in the road, though ordinary travelers may see only a gap in the paling. His solitary path across lots will turn out the higher way of the two. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
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 Quotes)
What does education often do? It makes a straight-cut ditch of a free, meandering brook. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
What is the value of any political freedom, but as a means to moral freedom? (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The youth may build or plant or sail, only let him not be hindered from doing that which he tells me he would like to do. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Let go of the past and live the future . . . Live the life you imagined (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Our panaceas cure but few ails, our general hospitals are private and exclusive. We must set up another Hygeia than is now worshiped. Do not the quacks even direct small doses for children, larger for adults, and larger still for oxen and horses? Let us remember that we are to prescribe for the globe itself. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I have the habit of attention to such excess, that my senses get no rest - but suffer from a constant strain. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I am alarmed when it happens that I have walked a mile into the woods bodily, without getting there in spirit. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Woe be to the generation that lets any higher faculty in its midst go unemployed (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The poet’s body even is not fed like other men’s, but he sometimes tastes the genuine nectar and ambrosia of the gods, and lives adivine life. By the healthful and invigorating thrills of inspiration his life is preserved to a serene old age. (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
