Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Why should I feel lonely? is not our planet in the Milky Way?

As the afternoons grow shorter, and the early evening drives us home to complete our chores, we are reminded of the shortness of life, and become more pensive, at least in this twilight of the year. We are prompted to make haste and finish our work before the night comes.

Renew thyself completely each day.

I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself. - Henry David Thoreau
