Henry David Thoreau

I should not talk so much about myself if there were anybody else whom I knew as well.

A man’s ignorance sometimes is not only useful, but beautiful-while his knowledge, so called, is oftentimes worse than useless, besides being ugly.

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.

The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till the other is ready, and it may be along time before they get off.

What is called genius is the abundance of life and health.

How earthy old people become moldy as the grave! Their wisdom smacks of the earth. There is no foretaste of immortality in it. They remind me of earthworms and mole crickets.

Drownin’ in the sea of love where everyone would love to drown.

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sail through the changing ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have lost at all.

Everything is clearer when you’re in love.

Provided that he only broke you into pieces, you still have it all, like a pizza in slices, every. bite, delicious. You may not feel whole, but you are no less because of a feeling.

Spread love everywhere you go let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Between whom there is hearty truth, there is love.

To me, obligation is not love. Letting someone be open, honest and free – that’s love. It’s got to come natural and it’s got to be real.

Who, being loved, is poor?

When you love someone, you love the person as they are, and not as you’d like them to be.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

Love those you hate you.

To love another person is to see the face of God.

Relish love in your old age! Aged love is like aged wine; it becomes more satisfying, more refreshing, more valuable, more appreciated and more intoxicating!

You don’t need to justify your love, you don’t need to explain your love, you just need to practice your love. Practice creates the master.
