The child should have the advantage of ignorance as well as of knowledge, and is fortunate if he gets his share of neglect and exposure (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
We can never safely exceed the actual facts in our narratives. Of pure invention, such as some suppose, there is no instance. To write a true work of fiction even is only to take leisure and liberty to describe some things more exactly as they are (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Surely the writer is to address a world of laborers, and such therefore must be his own discipline (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The scholar may be sure that he writes the tougher truth for the calluses on his palms. They give firmness to the sentence. Indeed, the mind never makes a great and successful effort, without a corresponding energy of the body (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
If you indulge in long periods, you must be sure to have a snapper at the end (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It would be no reproach to a philosopher, that he knew the future better than the past, or even than the present. It is better worth knowing (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The artist and his work are not to be separated. The most willfully foolish man cannot stand aloof from his folly, but the deed and the doer together make ever one sober fact (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
When the reptile is attacked at one mouth of his burrow, he shows himself at another (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Man needs to know but little more than a lobster in order to catch him in his traps (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The sport of digging the bait is nearly equal to that of catching the fish, when one’s appetite is not too keen (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
As for the dispute about solitude and society, any comparison is impertinent. It is an idling down on the plane at the base of a mountain, instead of climbing steadily to its top (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Individuals, like nations, must have suitable broad and natural boundaries, even a considerable neutral ground, between them (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
What sort of space is that which separates a man from his fellows and makes him solitary? (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
As for men, they will hardly fail one anywhere. I had more visitors while I lived in the woods than at any other period of my life; I mean that I had some (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Seeds, there are seeds enough which need only be stirred in with the soil where they lie, by an inspired voice or pen, to bear fruit of a divine flavor (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Everything that is printed and bound in a book contains some echo at least of the best that is in literature (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Since you are my readers, and I have not been much of a traveler, I will not talk about people a thousand miles off, but come as near home as I can. As the time is short, I will leave out all the flattery, and retain all the criticism (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Long enough I had heard of irrelevant things; now at length I was glad to make acquaintance with the light that dwells in rotten wood. Where is all your knowledge gone to? It evaporates completely, for it has no depth (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
What is chastity? How shall a man know if he is chaste? He shall not know it. We have heard of this virtue, but we know not what it is (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Every man has to learn the points of the compass again as often as he awakes, whether from sleep or any abstraction (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Methinks I am never quite committed, never wholly the creature of my moods, but always to some extent their critic. My only integral experience is in my vision. I see, perchance, with more integrity than I feel (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
A true politeness does not result from any hasty and artificial polishing, it is true, but grows naturally in characters of the right grain and quality, through a long fronting of men and events, and rubbing on good and bad fortune (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It makes no odds where a man goes or stays, if he is only about his business (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
