Henry David Thoreau
  • To be admitted to Nature's hearth costs nothing. None is excluded, but excludes himself. You have only to push aside the curtain.

  • Nature and human life are as various as our several constitutions. Who shall say what prospect life offers to another?

  • There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

  • It appears to be a law that you cannot have a deep sympathy with both man and nature.

  • There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
