Henry David Thoreau Quotes

 

The spiritual and profound ideas of the iconic 19th-century American transcendentalist are summarized in this list of quotes by Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau, whom we know from Walden and his essay Civil Disobedience is referred to in the quote above, often writes about nature, individualism (my own term perhaps), simplicity, and truth. His quotes make you dive inside, evoke your belief in yourself, and inspire a self-content life.

Reflections on the teachings of Thoreau compel us to consider that there is a better way, and in so doing, encourage each one of us not only individually but as societies under God’s watchful eye. His reflections appeal to anyone in search of a richer, more deliberate existence, as well as those who never want to take the simple things for granted.
