Henry David Thoreau Quotes

"That man is the richest whose pleasures are the cheapest""Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed by them""Our life is frittered away by detail... simplify, simplify""An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day""This world is but a canvas to our imagination""There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living""Live your life, do your work, then take your hat""Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves""Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence""As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind""There is no remedy for love but to love more""Wealth is the ability to fully experience life""The only way to tell the truth is to speak with kindness. Only the words of a loving man can be heard""Not until we are lost do we begin to understand ourselves""I make myself rich by making my wants few""Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it""If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer""The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it""It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see""Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake"
