Thoreau sayings

Here are some famous quotes by Henry David Thoreau:

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. "Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify."

3. "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."

4. "The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation."

5. "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth."

6. "It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see."

7. "Live your beliefs and you can turn the world around."

8. "As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler; solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness."

9. "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."
