More quotes by Henry David Thoreau, Walden

"All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be."
"I silently smiled at my incessant good fortune."
"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."
"Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations."
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."
