To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it.

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.
