"The value of any experience is measured,..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“For a man needs only to be turned around once with his eyes shut in this world to be lost...Not 'til we are lost do we begin to find ourselves.”

“I am no more lonely than a single mullein or dandelion in a pasture, or a bean leaf, or sorrel, or a horse-fly, or a bumblebee. I am no more lonely than the Mill Brook, or a weathercock, or the north star, or the south wind, or an April shower, or a January thaw, or the first spider in a new house.”

“Winter is the time for study, you know, and the colder it is the more studious we are.”

“One should absorb the colour of life, but one should never remember its details. Details are always vulgar.”

“Failure is a part of life and you have to learn to deal with it. Failure is something that is part of life's cycle and it's from failure that you gain life experience.”

“Much learning does not teach understanding.”

“If you know what life is worth, you will look for yours on earth.”

“You will be as much value to others as you have been to yourself.”

“Experience is an author's most valuable asset; experience is the thing that puts the muscle and the breath and the warm blood into the book he writes.”
