Henry David Thoreau Quotes
«I should be pleased to meet man in the woods. I wish he were to be encountered like wild caribous and moose.»
«I have lately been surveying the Walden woods so extensively and minutely that I now see it mapped in my mind?s eye - as, indeed, on paper - as so many men?s wood-lots, and am aware when I walk there that I am at a given moment passing from such a one?s wood-lot to such another?s. I fear this particular dry knowledge may affect my imagination and fancy, that it will not be easy to see so much wildness and native vigor there as formerly.»
«I came into this world, not cheifly to make this a good place to live in, but live in it, be it good or bad. A man has not everything to do, but something; and because he can not do everything, it is not necessary that he should do something wrong.»
«For it matters not how small the beginning may seem to be: what is once well done is done forever...»
«They will wait, well disposed, for others to remedy evil, that they may no longer have have it to regret.»
«I quarrel not with far-off foes, but with those who, near at home, co-operate with, and do the bidding of, those far away, and without whom the latter would be harmless.»
«Take long walks in stormy weather or through deep snows in the fields andwoods, if you would keep your spirits up. Deal with brute nature. Be coldand hungry and weary.»
