Quotes by Henry David Thoreau

Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.

Live the life you've dreamed.

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.

I think that there is nothing, not even crime, more opposed to poetry, to philosophy, ay, to life itself than this incessant business.

There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.

A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend.

There is no remedy for love but to love more.

Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth.

Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.

I love to be alone. I never found the companion that was so companionable as solitude.
