Words for Thought - Henry David Thoreau

Some inspiring quotes from a favorite of mine. Hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” 


“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.” 


“If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music he hears, however measured or far away.” 


“Be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.” 


“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.” 


“Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.”
 
 
“We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal and then leap in the dark to our success.”  
 
 
“There is no remedy for love, but to love some more”
 
 
“Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. what a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.”
