More quotes by Henry David Thoreau

"Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake."
"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you've imagined."
"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."
"Write while the heat is in you. The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron which has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience."
"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."
