Henry David Thoreau, a prominent American philosopher, naturalist, and author, is renowned for his reflective and thought-provoking quotes. Here are some of his most famous ones:
1. **On Individualism**:
– ”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 which he hears, however measured or far away.”
2. **On Simplicity**:
– ”Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.”
3. **On Nature**:
– ”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.”
4. **On Success and Aspiration**:
– ”Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.”
5. **On Reflection and Self-Discovery**:
– ”What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”
6. **On Society and Government**:
– ”That government is best which governs least.”
7. **On Freedom and Conformity**:
– ”Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves.”
These quotes reflect Thoreau’s deep connections to personal independence, simplicity, and a profound appreciation for nature.
