More quotes by Henry David Thoreau

"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."
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
"We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success."
"It's not worth our while to let our imperfections disturb us always."
"Never look back unless you are planning to go that way."
