Henry David Thoreau Quotes
Showing: 151 - 160 Henry David Thoreau Quotes of 203
It is impossible to give a soldier a good education without making him a deserter. His natural foe is the government that drills him.
Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.
As if you could kill time without injuring eternity.
In the long run, men hit only what they aim at.
We are more anxious to speak than to be heard.
Age is no better, hardly so well, qualified for an instructor as youth, for it has not profited so much as it has lost.
There is no more fatal blunder than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.
We are always paid for our suspicion by finding what we suspect.
If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things.
As for style of writing, if one has anything to say, it drops from him simply and directly, as a stone falls to the ground.

Violence Quote
Violence never settles anything right: apart from injuring your own soul, it injures the best cause. It lingers on long after the object of hate has disappeared from the scene to plague the lives of those who have employed it against their foes.
Life Quote
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
Peace Quote
Peace cannot be kept by force. It can only be achieved by understanding.
Success Quote
Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.
Wise Quote
It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.
