It’s Henry David Thoreau’s birthday, so, from the twenty-seven Thoreau quotes in the Quote Box:
If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or old laws will be expanded and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with a license of a higher order of beings. – Henry David Thoreau
Be not simply good; be good for something. – Henry David Thoreau
I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately. To confront only the essential facts of life and see if I could not learn from it what it had to teach and not when I came to die discover that I had not lived. – Henry David Thoreau
You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. – Henry David Thoreau
If I repent of anything, it is very likely to be my good behavior. – Henry David Thoreau
