"The Great Snow! How cheerful it is..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“To a small man every greater is an exaggeration.”

“Follow your genius closely enough, and it will not fail to show you a fresh prospect every hour.”

“The merely political aspect of the land is never very cheering; men are degraded when considered as the members of a political organization.”

“Many have believed that Walden reached quite through to the other side of the globe.”

“So that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to repeat over and over again.”

“Everything you can imagine, nature has already created.”

“Good weather all the week, but come the weekend the weather stinks. When the weather is too hot they complain, too cold they complain, and when it's just right, they're watching TV.”

“Spring is the time of year when it is summer in the sun and winter in the shade.”

“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
