Text Quotes
As polishing expresses the vein in marble, and grain in wood, so music brings out what of heroic lurks anywhere. The hero is the sole patron of music (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Music is the sound of the universal laws promulgated. It is the only assured tone. There are in it such strains as far surpass anyman’s faith in the loftiness of his destiny. Things are to be learned which it will be worth the while to learn (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Who that has heard a strain of music feared then lest he should speak extravagantly any more forever? (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
On every hand we observe a truly wise practice, in education, in morals, and in the arts of life, the embodied wisdom of many an ancient philosopher (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Unless we do more than simply learn the trade of our time, we are but apprentices, and not yet masters of the art of life (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The life of a wise man is most of all extemporaneous, for he lives out of an eternity which includes all time (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Men do not fail commonly for want of knowledge, but for want of prudence to give wisdom the preference (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I should consider it a greater success to interest one wise and earnest soul, than a million unwise and frivolous (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
One may almost doubt if the wisest man has learned anything of absolute value by living (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I do not know what right I have to so much happiness, but rather hold it in reserve till the time of my desert (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
My actual life is a fact, in view of which I have no occasion to congratulate myself; but for my faith and aspiration I have respect. It is from these that I speak (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
That we have but little faith is not sad, but that we have little faithfulness. By faithfulness faith is earned (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The coward wants resolution, which the brave man can do without. He recognizes no faith above a creed, thinking this straw by which he is moored does him good service, because his sheet anchor does not drag (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Friendship takes place between those who have an affinity for one another, and is a perfectly natural and inevitable result. No professions nor advances will avail... It is a drama in which the parties have no part to act (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Friendship is evanescent in every man’s experience, and remembered like heat lightning in past summers (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
We must love our friend so much that she shall be associated with our purest and holiest thoughts alone (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The richest gifts we can bestow are the least marketable. We hate the kindness which we understand (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
We should never stand upon ceremony with sincerity. We should never cheat and insult and banish one another by our meanness, if there were present the kernel of worth and friendliness. We should not meet thus in haste (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I had but three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship; three for society. When visitors came in larger and unexpected numbers there was but the third chair for them all, but they generally economized the room by standing up (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Knowledge is to be acquired only by a corresponding experience. How can we know what we are told merely? Each man can interpret another’s experience only by his own (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It is not in vain that man speaks to man. This is the value of literature (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I have found it a singular luxury to talk across the pond to a companion on the opposite side (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Books are for the most part willfully and hastily written, as parts of a system to supply a want real or imagined (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Let a slight snow come and cover the earth, and the tracks of men will show how little the woods and fields are frequented (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Faint heart never won true friend. O my friend, may it come to pass, once, that when you are my friend I may be yours (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
A very few, as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great sense, and men, serve the state with their conscience also, and so necessarily resist it for the most part, and they are commonly treated as enemies by it (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
With a little more deliberation in the choice of their pursuits, all men would perhaps become essentially students and observers, for certainly their nature and destiny are interesting to all alike (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It would seem as if the very language of our parlors would lose all its nerve and degenerate into palaver wholly, our lives pass at such remoteness from its symbols, and its metaphors and tropes are necessarily so far fetched (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
We should read history as little critically as we consider the landscape, and be more interested by the atmospheric tints and various lights and shades which the intervening spaces create than by its groundwork and composition (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
We perceive that the schemers return again and again to common sense and labor. Such is the evidence of history (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
