The finest workers in stone are not copper or steel tools, but the gentle touches of air and water working at their leisure with a liberal allowance of time.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
A Week on the Concord and Marrimack Rivers, “Wednesday” (1849)

For my part, I could easily do without the post-office. I think that there are view few important communications made through it. To speak critically, I never received more than one or two letters in my life...that were worth the postage.

A quotation from Thoreau

It is remarkable, that notwithstanding the universal favor with which the New Testament is outwardly received, and even the bigotry with which it is defended, there is no hospitality shown to, there is no appreciation of, the order of truth with which it deals. I know of no book that has so few readers. There is none so truly strange, and heretical, and unpopular.

Sagesse originelle
#citation #HenryDavidThoreau #sagesse

« Consacrons une journée à vivre aussi délibérément que la Nature, sans dérailler à la moindre coquille de noix ou aile de moustique qui tombe sur les rails [...]. Si la locomotive siffle, laissons-la siffler jusqu'à ce qu'elle en ait la voix enrouée. Si la cloche sonne, pourquoi devrions-nous courir ? »
– Henry David Thoreau, dans : Wayne W. Dyer, Le bonheur selon Lao-Tseu, Guy Trédaniel Éditeur, 2009, p. 44

A quotation from Thoreau

All streams are but tributary to the ocean, which itself does not stream, and the shores are unchanged but in longer periods than man can measure. Go where we will, we discover infinite change in particulars only, not in generals.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
A Week on the Concord and Marrimack Rivers, “Monday” (1849)
