In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavad Gita in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seems puny
More Quotes from Henry David Thoreau:
Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong Are laws to be enforced simply because they were made Or declared by any number of men to be good, if they are NOT good.Henry David Thoreau
Our inventions are wont to be pretty toys, which distract our attention from serious things. They are but improved means to an unimproved end.
Henry David Thoreau
As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives.
Henry David Thoreau
I have never found a companion that was so companionable as solitude. We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will.
Henry David Thoreau
Live your life, do your work, then take your hat.
Henry David Thoreau
The language of excitement is at best picturesque merely. You must be calm before you can utter oracles.
Henry David Thoreau
