Henry David Thoreau Quotes

Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
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.
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.
In what concerns you much, do not think that you have companions: know that you are alone in the world.
What people say you cannot do, you try and find that you can.
