"Follow your genius closely enough, and it..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“Work your vein till it is exhausted, or conducts you to a broader one.”

“If a man constantly aspires is he not elevated?”

“The thinnest yellow light of November is more warming and exhilarating than any wine they tell of. The mite which November contributes becomes equal in value to the bounty of July.”

“To the body and mind which have been cramped by noxious work or company, nature is medicinal and restores their tone. The tradesman, the attorney comes out of the din and craft of the street and sees the sky and the woods, and is a man again. In their eternal calm, he finds himself.”

“Stop leaving and you will arrive, Stop searching and you will see, Stop running away and you will be found.”

“An artist or a creative person of any kind goes about their work because it's their path, it's what excites them, it's what aligns their soul with who they truly are, who they showed up to be.”

“If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.”

“Inherently, each one of us has the substance within to achievewhatever our goals and dreams define. What is differentfor each of us is the training, education, knowledge and insight to utilize what we already have.”

“In praising or loving a child, we love and praise not that which is, but that which we hope for.”
