"I have met with but one or..." - Quote by Henry David Thoreau

“It is never too late to give up our prejudices.”

“Undoubtedly, in the most brilliant successes, the first rank is always sacrificed.”

“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.”

“The true charm of pedestrianism does not lie in the walking, or in the scenery, but in the talking. The walking is good to time the movement of the tongue by, and to keep the blood and the brain stirred up and active; the scenery and the woodsy smells are good to bear in upon a man an unconscious and unobtrusive charm and solace to eye and soul and sense; but the supreme pleasure comes from the talk.”

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk. Everyday, I walk myself into a state of well-being & walk away from every illness. I have walked myself into my best thoughts, and I know of no thought so burdensome that one cannot walk away from it. But by sitting still, & the more one sits still, the closer one comes to feeling ill. Thus if one just keeps on walking, everything will be all right.”

“Above all, do not lose your desire to walk.”

“The first principle of all action is leisure.”

“Happiness is thought to depend on leisure; for we are busy that we may have leisure, and make war that we may live in peace.”

“Loafing" is easy, but "leisure" is difficult.”
