More quotes by Henry David Thoreau, Walden

"The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run."
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
"Commonly men will only be brave as their fathers were brave, or timid."
"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived."
