Henry David Thoreau quotes

Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes.

What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on?

Thank God men cannot as yet fly and lay waste the sky as well as the earth!

Men have become the tools of their tools.

Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.

A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.

Some circumstantial evidence is very strong, as when you find a trout in the milk.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.
