Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau

The heart is forever inexperienced.

I hardly know an intellectual man, even, who is so broad and truly liberal that you can think aloud in his society. Most with whom you endeavor to talk soon come to a stand against some institution in which they appear to hold stock, — that is, some particular, not universal, way of viewing things.

No man’s thoughts are new, but the style of their expression is the never-failing novelty which cheers and refreshes men. - Henry David Thoreau
