Letter "H" » Henry David Thoreau Quotes
«Man's capacities have never been measured; nor are we to judge of what he can do by any precedent, so little has been tried.»
«Talk of mysteries! Think of our life in Nature- daily to be shown matter, To come in contact with it- rocks, trees, wind on our cheeks. The solid earth! . . .»
«The civilized man is a more experienced and wiser savage.»
«The eye may see for the hand, but not for the mind.»
«The great art of life is how to turn the surplus life of the soul into life for the body.»
«The man who does not betake himself at once and desperately to sawing is called a loafer, though he may be knocking at the doors of heaven all the while.»
«Glorify God and enjoy him forever»
«If the fairest features of the landscape are to be named after men, let them be the noblest and worthiest men alone.»
«The purity men love is like the mists which envelope the earth, and not like the azure ether beyond.»
«However intense my experience, I am conscious of the presence and criticism of a part of me, which, as it were, is not a part of me, but a spectator, sharing no experience, but taking note of it, and that is no more I than it is you. When the play, it may be the tragedy, of life is over, the spectator goes his way. It was a kind of fiction, a work of the imagination only, so far as he was concerned.»
