Famous quotes containing the word thoreau:

    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Depend upon it that, rude and careless as I am, I would fain practice the yoga faithfully.
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
