“That man is richest whose pleasures are the cheapest.” - Thoreau

“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.” - Thoreau

“Our life is frittered away by detail. … Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail. … Simplify, simplify.” - Walden

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.” - Thoreau

• In the summer of 1845, 27-year-old Henry David Thoreau came to Walden Pond to be alone. He recorded his thoughts, observations and beliefs on a wide variety of subjects, particularly the value of the natural world, the tenets of the transcendental movement, and the necessity of civil disobedience in a modern society. The resulting work, Walden, would go on to be one of the most influential books in American history, joining Thoreau’s quotable library of essays, journal entries, correspondence, and other works of writing.
