Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Dreams and Foundations
If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.0 points

What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.0 points

Life
Live each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each.0 points

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it but as I drink, I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.0 points
Living in the present

Friendship
The most I can do for my friend is simply to be his friend. I have no wealth to bestow on him. If he knows that I am happy in loving him, he will want no other reward. Is not friendship divine in this?0 points
Regrets
When it's time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived.0 points
Wealth
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.0 points
