“If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.” –Henry David Thoreau
Henry David Thoreau
A Written Word
“A written word is the choicest of relics. It is something at once more intimate with us and more universal than any other work of art. It is the work of art nearest to life itself. It may be translated into every language, and not only be read but actually breathed from all human lips; — not be represented on canvas or in marble only, but be carved out of the breath of life itself.” ―Henry David Thoreau
I Was Not Born To Be Forced
“I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. Let us see who is the strongest.” ―Henry David Thoreau
How Vain It Is…
“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live.” ―Henry David Thoreau
Write While The Heat Is In You…
A little inspiration for anyone who may be feeling “stuck” at the moment. This too shall pass, and it always does. 🙂
However Mean…
“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.” ―Henry David Thoreau
