"If I ever see more clearly at..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Furniture! Thank God, I can sit and I can stand without the aid of a furniture warehouse.”

“Good religious men, with the love of men in their hearts, and the means to pay their toll in their pockets.”

“Wealth is the ability to fully experience life.”

“You can’t hit a target if you don’t know what it is.”

“Modern writing at its worst does not consist in picking out words for the sake of their meaning and inventing images in order to make the meaning clearer. It consists in gumming together long strips of words which have already been set in order by someone else, and making the results presentable by sheer humbug. The attraction of this way of writing is that it is easy.”

“If you keep a clear vision for your future, it will pull you like a magnet through your toughest times.”

“Our life is not so much threatened as our perception. Ghostlike we glide through nature, and should not know our place again.”

“Self-love makes our friends appear more or less deserving in proportion to the delight we take in them, and the measures by whichwe judge of their worth depend upon the manner of their conversing with us.”

“We falsely attribute to men a determined character - putting together all their yesterdays - and averaging them - we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support - it is worse than a large family - he is the silent poor indeed.”
