Henry David Thoreau

“Happiness is like a butterfly: the more you chase it, the more it will elude you; but if you turn your attention to other things, it will come and sit softly on your shoulder.”

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.”

“The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it.”

“I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual. It is surprising how contented one can be with nothing definite—only a sense of existence.”

“This world is but a canvas to our imagination.”
