Henry David Thoreau

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined.”

“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

“Simplify, simplify.”

“In the long run, we only hit what we aim at.”

“OfF Things do not change - we change.”

“We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap into the dark to our success.”

“0Iv Men are born to succeed, not fail.”

“What a man thinks of himself is what determines, or rather indicates his fate.”

“Since most of us spend our lives doing ordinary tasks, the most important thing is to carry them out extraordinarily well.”

“Happiness is like a butterfly. The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you turn your attention to other things , It comes and sits softly on your shoulder.”

“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.”

“To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge.”

“Knowledge does not come to us in details, but in flashes of light from heaven.”

“True friendship can afford true knowledge. It does not depend on darkness and ignorance.”
