More quotes by Henry David Thoreau, Walden

"As if you could kill time without injuring eternity."
"All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be."
"Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star."
"Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made."
"Commonly men will only be brave as their fathers were brave, or timid."
