Author of quotes: Henry David Thoreau

Let us not underestimate the significance of the fact: someday a flower of truth will bloom on it.

I heard that many people got lost even on the streets of small towns, when the darkness became so thick that, as they say, you can cut it with a knife ...

Empty and meaningless are often our conversations: one attracts a different plane. We rarely meet the person who can tell us the news, not taken from Newspapers or conversations with a neighbor. For the most part we differ from their neighbors just because they read a newspaper or were guests and we didn't.

Those services that society most readily pay, the hardest conversations to have.

People always raise their low roof and narrow window between you and the sky, when I want to look at the sky without any obstacles.

It is not enough to be industrious; the ants out too hardworking. It is important to understand what is the aim of your hard work.

The finest qualities of our nature like the gentle gun on fruits, can be preserved only by the most careful treatment. And we are not careful neither to each other nor to ourselves.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps he hears a different drummer.

No man never lost in my eyes because of the patches on clothes; meanwhile, people are more anxious about fashion, or at least clean and stapletonmom dress than about a clear conscience.

Labour builds the wisdom and purity; laziness breeds ignorance and sensuality. The scientist sensuality is expressed in mental laziness. The man unclean is always a sloth, a lover to sit at the furnace, to fall apart in the sun and relax, not having to get tired. To achieve purity and away from sin, to work tirelessly on any job, at least it was cleaning the stables. To conquer nature is hard, but to win it is necessary. What is the point in being a Christian, if you are not purer Gentile, if you don't surpass his abstinence and piety?

Blessed would be the one who always lived in the present, taking advantage of every opportunity that fell to his share, like grass which rejoices all fallen on the burner, and didn't waste any time on redemption of lost opportunities, we have called the duty.

No matter how miserable your life is, look her in the face and live it; don't you pull away from her and curse her. She's not as bad as you. It seems all the poorer when you're richer. Picky person and in heaven will find something to complain about. Love your life, poor as it may be. Even in the shelter for the poor can survive encouraging, exciting, unforgettable hours.

Kindness is the only apparel that never decays.

Nothing smells so disgusting, as tainted righteousness.
