"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."
"You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your
eternity in each moment."
"There is no remedy for love but to love more."
"If one advances confidently in the direction of one's dreams, and
endeavors to live the life which one has imagined, one will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."
"Do not lose hold of your dreams or aspirations. For if you do, you may still
exist but you have ceased to live."
"Simplify, simplify."
"It is what a man thinks of himself that really determines his fate."
"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be
slaves."
"The most I can do for my friend is simply be his
friend."
"In wilderness is the preservation of the world."
Henry David Thoreau
