  • "... in the distant woods or fields, in unpretending sprout-lands or pastures tracked by rabbits, even in a bleak and, to most, cheerless day, like this, when a villager would be thinking of his inn, I come to myself, I once more feel myself grandly related, and that cold and solitude are friends of mine. I suppose that this value, in my case, is equivalent to what others get by churchgoing and prayer.

Thoreau teaching.resources quotes

  • 1. How can one find truth and, specifically, the meaning of life? Can you find it by reasoning? How would you define "reason"? 2. What is the relationship between these two words: "religion" and "spirituality"? Are they the same? 3. If you belive in God, how do you understand the problem of salvation? How does one find God? How is one to be "saved"? How does one find a place in Heaven? 4. Have you ever had a "religious experience"? Where and when? 5. How would you describe your own personal relationship to nature? 6. Do you support the current environment movement? If so, why?

  • Any melodious sound apprises me of the infinite wealth of God.
  • In wildness is the preservation of the world.
  • When I hear a robin sing at sunset, I cannot help contrast the magnanimity of nature with the bustle and impatience of man.

  • The ways by which you get money almost without exception lead downward.To have done anything by which you earned money merely is to have been truly idle or worse
  • 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.
