Henry David ThoreauJuly 12, 1817-May 6th, 1854
1 ) I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
2 ) Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you've imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler.
3) If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. But do not care to convince him. Men will believe what they see. Let them see.
4) Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify
5) Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.
