Lori's favorite quotes

10264
"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live."
Henry David Thoreau

10264
"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. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms. "
Henry David Thoreau (Walden: Or, Life in the Woods)

10264
"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. "
Henry David Thoreau

10264
"Be not simply good. Be good for something."
Henry David Thoreau

10264
"Most men lead lives of quiet desperation and go to the grave with the song still in them. "
Henry David Thoreau (Civil Disobedience And Other Essays the Collected Essays of Henry David Thoreau)
