builds your own independent life away from norms and taxes?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">In that case, you will definitely love these 115 Henry David Thoreau quotes and his most influential book &ldquo;Walden.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Thoreau was one of the most prominent American writers and philosophers, as well as an essayist.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">He was a supporter of Transcendentalism (a philosophical current that emphasizes living in nature) and an abolitionist (a movement meant to end slavery).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Also, through his writing and his actions, Thoreau criticized society as it is, its&rsquo; progress, and the tax system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">He believed that society is built upon a maleficent system meant to take people&rsquo;s money and enslave them, robbing their happiness away.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">He insisted that human beings are better off living independently in nature, making their own shelters and food, and not taking part in society as it was in the 19th Century (or as it is today).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">He was a University teacher, but because he refused to give physical punishments to students, he lost his job.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">He refused to pay taxes oftentimes, like that one time when he refused to pay $5 for his Harvard degree.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">After a long time of not paying taxes and delivering a few public speeches in which he condemned the government&rsquo;s actions, he even went to jail for tax delinquency.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Luckily, not long after, his aunt bailed him out &ndash; and he even protested that, as he would have preferred to live in jail than to be forced to submit to the system.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">As you can see, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Henry_David_Thoreau\">Thoreau<\/a> was definitely a black sheep of his time, as he tried to pass on some very controversial ideas.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">He could not change the course of things, and society, in general, was overall built;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">However, he did leave a strong legacy behind, and many people still share his ideas and defy the system, trying to be as independent as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">Curiously enough, another one of his well-known writings is an essay called &ldquo;Civil disobedience,&rdquo; in which Thoreau talks about his ideas of boycotting the system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">If you resonate with Thoreau&rsquo;s belief system or if I&rsquo;ve just made you curious about it, have a look at the

class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">1. &ldquo;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 unexpectedly.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">2. &ldquo;Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">3. &ldquo;Our whole life is startlingly moral. There is never an instant truce between virtue and vice. Goodness is the only investment that never fails.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">4. &ldquo;All men want, not something to do with, but something to do, or rather something to be.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">5. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">6. &ldquo;I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite &ndash; only a sense of existence.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">7. &ldquo;The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">8. &ldquo;Society is commonly too cheap. We meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire new value for each other. We meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that old musty cheese that we are.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">9. &ldquo;However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not as bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">10. &ldquo;Happiness is like a butterfly; the more you chase it, the more it will evade you, but if you notice the other things around you, it will gently come and sit on your shoulder.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">11. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">12. &ldquo;In the long run, men only hit what they aim at. Therefore, though they should fail immediately, they had better aim at something high.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">13. &ldquo;You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, and find eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">14. &ldquo;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. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">15. &ldquo;Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">16. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">17. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">18. &ldquo;Write while the heat is in you. The writer who postpones the recording of his thoughts uses an iron that has cooled to burn a hole with. He cannot inflame the minds of his audience.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">19. &ldquo;The man who goes alone can start today, but he who travels with another must wait until that other is ready, and it may be a long time before they get off.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">20. &ldquo;If we are quiet and ready enough, we shall find compensation in every disappointment.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">21. &rdquo;The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">22. &ldquo;Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in. I drink at it, but while I drink, I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is. Its thin current slides away, but eternity remains.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">23. &ldquo;Not till we are lost, in other words, not till we have lost the world, do we begin to find ourselves and realize where we are and the infinite extent of our relations.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">24. &ldquo;I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms&hellip;&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">25. &ldquo;The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation. From the desperate city, you go into the desperate country and have to console yourself with the bravery of minks and muskrats.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-mv_trellis_1x1 eplus-wrapper\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-728x728.jpg\" alt=\"Image of one of Henry David Thoreau's Quotes\" class=\"wp-image-553233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-728x728.jpg 728w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-960x960.jpg 960w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-480x480.jpg 480w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-320x320.jpg 320w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"728\" height=\"728\" src=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-728x728.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Image of one of Henry David Thoreau's Quotes\" class=\"wp-image-553233 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-728x728.jpg.webp 728w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-300x300.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-1024x1024.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-150x150.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-768x768.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-960x960.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-480x480.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-320x320.jpg.webp 320w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote-200x200.jpg.webp 200w, https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote.jpg.webp 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 24px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Henry-David-Thoreau-quote.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-2\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center eplus-wrapper eplus-styles-uid-57ab72 wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/subconsciousservant.com\/morality-quotes\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"553466\">103 Morality Quotes To Help You Explore Your Moral Compass<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">26. &ldquo;Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so. Aim above morality. Be not simply good, be good for something.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">27. &ldquo;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.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">28. &ldquo;If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">29. &ldquo;If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">30. &ldquo;The greatest gains and values are farthest from being appreciated. We easily come to doubt if they exist. We soon forget them. They are the highest reality. Perhaps the facts most astounding and most real are never communicated by man to man.&rdquo;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">31. &ldquo;Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion. What a man thinks of himself, that it is which determines, or rather indicates, his fate.&rdquo;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"eplus-wrapper wp-block-paragraph\">32. &ldquo;The true harvest of my daily life is somewhat as intangible and indescribable as the tints of morning or evening.
