Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau

If you aspire to anything better than politics, expect no cooperation from men. They will not further anything good. You must prevail of your own force, as a plant springs and grows by its own vitality.

If I am visited by a thought, I chew that cud each successive morning, as long as there is any flavor in it.

Read not the Times. Read the Eternities. Knowledge does not come to us by details, but in flashes of light from heaven.
