"Fresh curls spring from the baldest brow...." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Waves of a serene life pass over us from time to time, like flakes of sunlight over the fields in cloudy weather.”

“The stars are the jewels of the night, and perchance surpass anything which day has to show.”

“In the long run, you hit only what you aim at.”

“If a plant cannot live according to its nature, it dies; and so a man.”

“Sir, the year growing ancient,Not yet on summer's death nor on the birthOf trembling winter, the fairest flowers o' th' seasonAre our carnations and streaked gillyvors,Which some call nature's bastards.”

“The moon, like to a silver bow new bent in heaven.”

“In every age the wisest have passed the identical judgment on life: it is worthless.”

“So come to the pond, or the river of your imagination, or the harbor of your longing, and put your lips to the world. And live your life.”

“Life is a theatre set in which there are but few practicable entrances.”
