You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.
From Henry David Thoreau
If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.
Alas! how little does the memory of these human inhabitants enhance the beauty of the landscape!
It is only when we forget all our learning that we begin to know.
Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.
The bluebird carries the sky on his back.
True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
I had three chairs in my house; one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society.
