Knowledge does not come to us by details, but in flashes of light from heaven  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) The fact which interests us most is the life of the naturalist. The purest science is still biographical. Nothing will dignify and elevate science while it is sundered so wholly from the moral life of its devotee  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) It is childish to rest in the discovery of mere coincidences, or of partial and extraneous laws  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) We are enabled to apprehend at all what is sublime and noble only by the perpetual instilling and drenching of the reality that surrounds us.

While I am looking at him, I am thinking what he is thinking of me. He is a different sort of man, that’s all  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) Every man who has ever been earnest to preserve his higher or poetic faculties in the best condition, has been particularly inclined to abstain from animal food  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) Everything counts for gain when we are cosmically awake.

Thought breeds thought. It grows under your hands  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed on, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) It is in vain to dream of a wildness distant from ourselves. There is none such  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) As far back as I can remember I have unconsciously referred to the experiences of a previous state of existence  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) Who could believe in the prophecies... that the world would end this summer, while one milkweed with faith matured its seeds  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) I love you not as something private and personal, which is my own, but as something universal and worthy of love which I have found  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) One cannot too soon forget his errors and misdemeanors for to dwell long upon them is to add to the offense, and repentance and sorrow can only be displaced by somewhat better, and which is as free and original as if they had not been  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes) Still we live meanly like ants, though the fable tells us we were long ago changed into men  (Henry David Thoreau Quotes)
