Our life is frittered away by detail… simplify, simplify.
Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.
I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
There is no value in life except what you choose to place upon it and no happiness in any place except what you bring to it yourself.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good be good for something.
As you simplify your life, the laws of the universe will be simpler solitude will not be solitude, poverty will not be poverty, nor weakness weakness.
To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.
The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.
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.
Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.
