I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Books, not which afford us a cowering enjoyment, but in which each thought is of unusual daring; such as an idle man cannot read, and a timid one would not be entertained by, which even make us dangerous to existing institution - such call I good books (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The fire is the main comfort of the camp, whether in summer or winter, and is about as ample at one season as at another. It is as well for cheerfulness as for warmth and dryness (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends... Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)

Death is beautiful when seen to be a law, and not an accident. It is as common as life (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
He who distinguishes the true savor of his food can never be a glutton; he who does not cannot be otherwise (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I have received no more than one or two letters in my life that were worth the postage (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
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 (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
As for doing good; that is one of the professions which is full. Moreover I have tried it fairly and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
As in geology, so in social institutions, we may discover the causes of all past changes in the present invariable order of society (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)

Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Generally speaking, a howling wilderness does not howl: it is the imagination of the traveler that does the howling (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
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 Quotes)
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 Quotes)
I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains. I do not wish to go below now (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I have learned, that 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 (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
