Our houses are such unwieldy property that we are often imprisoned rather than housed in them.
Subject:  Miscellaneous   
Source:  Walden
Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself.

A perfectly healthy sentence, it is true, is extremely rare. For the most part we miss the hue and fragrance of the thought; as if we could be satisfied with the dews of the morning or evening without their colors, or the heavens without their azure.

Nothing goes by luck in composition. It allows of no tricks. The best you can write will be the best you are.
Subject:  Writing

There is no odor so bad as that which arises from goodness tainted.

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

If we will be quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.

It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is: What are we busy about?

The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

We know but a few men, a great many coats and breeches.
