A traveler who looks at things with an impartial eye may see what the oldest inhabitant has not observed (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The discoveries which we make abroad are special and particular; those which we make at home are general and significant. The further off, the nearer the surface. The nearer home, the deeper (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
It takes a man of genius to travel in his own country, in his native village; to make any progress between his door and his gate (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
There would be this advantage in traveling in your own country, even in your own neighborhood, that you would be so thoroughly prepared to understand what you saw you would make fewer traveler’s mistakes (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
I want nothing new, if I can have but a tithe of the old secured to me. I will spurn all wealth beside. Think of the consummate folly of attempting to go away from here! When the constant endeavor should be to get nearer and nearer here! (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The music of all creatures has to do with their loves, even of toads and frogs. Is it not the same with man? (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Carlyle said that how to observe was to look, but I say that it is rather to see, and the more you look the less you will observe (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
They were pleasant spring days, in which the winter of man’s discontent was thawing as well as the earth, and the life that had lain torpid began to stretch itself (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
If we dealt only with the false and dishonest, we should at last forget how to speak truth (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)

A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
That virtue we appreciate is as much ours as another s. We see so much only as we possess (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
If however the law is so promulgated that it of necessity makes you an agent of injustices against another, then I say to you... break the law (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
The works of great poets have never been read by mankind, for only great poets can read them (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)

It is impossible to give a soldier a good education without making him a deserter. His natural foe is the government that drills him (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Writing may be either the record of a deed or a deed. It is nobler when it is a deed (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root, and it may be that he who bestows the largest amount of time and money on the needy is doing the most by his mode of life to produce that misery which he strives in vain to relieve (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations. Books, the oldest and the best, stand naturally and rightfully on the shelves of every cottage. They have no cause of their own to plead, but while they enlighten and sustain the reader his common sense will not refuse them. Their authors are a natural and irresistible aristocracy in every society, and, more than kings or emperors, exert an influence on mankind (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
