It takes two to speak the truth--one to speak and the other to hear.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Be true to your work, your word, and your friend.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good; be good for something.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), "Walden"
It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), "Where I Live"

In solitude especialy do we begin to appreciate the advantage of living with someone who can think.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
If the day and the night are such that you greet them with with joy, and life emits a fragrance like flowers and sweet-scented herbs, more elastic, more starry, more immortal--that is your success.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
It is never too late to give up your prejudices.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)
I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.: Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862), "Walden", pp. 323- 324
