More From Henry David Thoreau
- "A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man’s life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars."
- "If you would convince a man that he does wrong, do right. Men will believe what they see."
- "Instead of noblemen, let us have noble villages of men."
More In Morning
- "I sit down at my desk pretty early in the morning and write all day until about 4 or 5 p.m."― Jeannette Walls
- "Stood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there."― Christopher Columbus
- "I should just put it bluntly, because we’re all sort of friends here now – it’s exceedingly likely that my greatest success is behind me. Oh, so Jesus, what a thought! You know that’s the kind of thought that could lead a person to start drinking gin at nine o’clock in the morning, and I don’t want to go there."― Elizabeth Gilbert
