"It is truly enough said that a..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“The only people who ever get anyplace interesting are the people who get lost.”

“Nature has left nothing to the mercy of man.”

“Each new year is a surprise to us. We find that we had virtually forgotten the note of each bird, and when we hear it again, it is remembered like a dream, reminding us of a previous state of existence. How happens it that the associations it awakens are always pleasing, never saddening, reminiscences of our sanest hours. The voice of nature is always encouraging.”

“I suggest that we are thieves in a way. If I take anything that I do not need for my own immediate use, and keep it, I thieve it from somebody else. ... Nature produces enough for our wants from day to day, and if only every-body took enough for himself and nothing more, there would be no pauperism in this world, there would be no man dying of starvation in this world. But so long as we have got this inequality, so long we are thieving.”

“There is a point, of course, where a man must take the isolated peak and break with all his associates for clear principle; but until that time comes he must work, if he would be of use, with men as they are. As long as the good in them overbalances the evil, let him work with them for the best that can be obtained.”

“When you locate good in yourself, approve of it with determination. When you locate evil in yourself, despise it as something detestable.”

“It seemed to me a matter of course that we should all take our share of the burden of pain which lies upon the world.”

“Artists have the responsibility to serve humanity give people hope.”

“Perhaps the worst sin in life is knowing right and not doing it.”
