List of quotes from Walden
"I see young men, my townsmen, whose misfortune it is to have inherited farms, houses, cattle, barns, and farming tools, for these are more easily acquired than gotten rid of. Better if they had been born in the open pasture and suckled by a wolf, that they might have seen with clearer eyes what field they were called to labour in."
by Henry David Thoreau Walden
"Petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of reality."
by Henry David Thoreau Walden
"The finest qualities of our nature, like the bloom on fruits, can be preserved only by the most delicate handling. Yet we do not treat ourselves nor one another thus tenderly."
by Henry David Thoreau Walden
