Wisdom Quote by Henry David Thoreau — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better.”

“Night is certainly more novel and less profane than day.”

“Every blade in the field - Every leaf in the forest - lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up.”

“When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.”

“I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better.”

“It is remarkable how long men will believe in the bottomlessness of a pond without taking the trouble to sound it.”

“كم نميل الى تذكر الاشياء بصورة مثالية لمجرد ان انتهاءها يستدعى منا المزيد من اللطف حيالها , مندرجين تحت طائلة "اذكروا محاسن موتاكم”

“True philosophers make of dying their profession”

“​"The true gaze does not come from the light, but from the inhabited darkness.”

“I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all incumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.”

“Life after love was possible. I was proof. Loss taught you about yourself, burrowed in the dark parts of your soul and ate you from the inside out.”

“Great achievement requires personal force, determined spirit and self-confidence.”
