Quotes to Live By

H.D.Thoreau Jan 28, 1858

I do not value any view of the universe into which man and the institutions of man enter very largely and absorb much of the attention. Man is but the place where I stand, and the prospect hence is infinite. It is not a chamber of mirrors which reflect me. When I reflect, I find that there is other than me. The universe is larger than enough for man's abode.

H.D.Thoreau, Apr 2, 1852

Walden, p173

What is a winter unless you have
risen and gone abroad frequently before sunrise and by starlight. H.D.Thoreau, Jan 23, 1854

What we call wildness is a civilization other than our own.

H.D.Thoreau 2/16/1857
