Additional quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Genius is the worst of lumber, if the poet would float upon the breeze of popularity.

Be it life or death, we crave only reality. If we are really dying, let us hear the rattle in our throats and feel the cold in the extremities; if we are alive, let us go about our business.

Fire is the most tolerable third party.

We are as much as we see. Faith is sight and knowledge. The hands only serve the eyes. - Henry David Thoreau
