Other Henry David Thoreau quotes:
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.
All things in this world must be seen with the morning dew on them. Must be seen with youthful early-opened hopeful eyes.
Don't be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin!
In the long run men only hit what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.
Enthusiasm is a supernatural serenity.
Be resolutely and faithfully what you are; be humbly what you aspire to be.
When it's time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.
The savage in man is never quite eradicated.
Things do not change; we change.
Men will lie on their backs, talking about the fall of man, and never make an effort to get up.
