Henry David Thoreau

"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."

"Our moments of inspiration are not lost though we have no particular poem to show for them; for those experiences have left an indelible impression, and we are ever and anon reminded of them."

"Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it."

"Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence."

"Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. what a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate."

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty."

"A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend."

"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."

"Wealth is the ability to fully experience life."

"True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance."

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined."

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined."

"Do what you love. Know your own bone; gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still."

"To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts, nor even to found a school, but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates, a life of simplicity, independence, magnanimity and trust."

"Men are born to succeed, not to fail."

"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."

"This world is but a canvas to our imagination."
