Henry David Thoreau

Faith keeps many doubts in her pay. If I could not doubt, I should not believe.

Faith never makes a confession.

The smallest seed of faith is better than the largest fruit of happiness.

Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed... Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.

Thank God men cannot fly, and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest.

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.

We must walk consciously only part way toward our goal, and then leap in the dark to our success.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

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.
