We should endeavor practically in our lives to correct all the defects which our imagination detects (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It gets laughed at because it is a small town, I know, but nevertheless it is a place where great men may be born any day, for fair winds and foul blow right on over it without distinction (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
This is one of those instances in which the individual genius is found to consent, as indeed it always does, at last, with the universal (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Each reader discovers for himself that, with respect to the simpler features of nature, succeeding poets have done little else than copy his similes (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Look not to legislatures and churches for your guidance, nor to any soulless incorporated bodies, but to inspirited or inspired ones (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)

The whole tree itself is but one leaf, and rivers are still vaster leaves whose pulp is intervening earth, and towns and cities are the ova of insects in their axils (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
A man must find his occasions in himself, it is true. The natural day is very calm, and will hardly reprove his indolence (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It must be confessed that horses at present work too exclusively for men, rarely men for horses; and the brute degenerates in man’s society (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It is a surprising and memorable, as well as valuable experience, to be lost in the woods any time (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
