Henry David Thoreau

Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost.

Henry David Thoreau

All change is a miracle to contemplate, but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

Henry David Thoreau

All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one… characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers.

Henry David Thoreau

All men are children, and of one family. The same tale sends them all to bed, and wakes them in the morning.

Henry David Thoreau

All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be.

Henry David Thoreau

All this worldly wisdom might be regarded as the once unamiable heresy of some wise man.

Henry David Thoreau

Any fool can make a rule, And every fool will mind it.

Henry David Thoreau

Any man more right than his neighbors constitutes a majority of one already.

Henry David Thoreau

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.

Henry David Thoreau

As for conforming outwardly and living your own life inwardly, I do not think much of that.

Henry David Thoreau
