Henry David Thoreau "...Simplify, Simplify"

"Our life is frittered away by detail. Simplify, simplify.” 


“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.” 
“Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.”
“What lies behind us and what lies ahead of us are tiny matters compared to what lives within us.”
“Books are the treasured wealth of the world and the fit inheritance of generations and nations.”
“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.”
“be yourself- not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be.” 

"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."
