There are moments when all anxiety and stated toil are becalmed in the infinite leisure and repose of nature.

Henry David Thoreau

Nature, Anxiety, Toil

Henry David Thoreau (2016). “A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers”, p.88, Xist Publishing

If a person lost would conclude that after all he is not lost, he is not beside himself, but standing in his own old shoes on thevery spot where he is, and that for the time being he will live there; but the places that have known him, they are lost,--how much anxiety and danger would vanish.

Henry David Thoreau

Shoes, Optimism, Anxiety

Henry David Thoreau (2013). “A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers”, p.148, Courier Corporation

It is desirable that a man be clad so simply that he can lay his hands on himself in the dark, and that he live in all respects so compactly and preparedly, that, if an enemy take the town, he can, like the old philosopher, walk out the gate empty-handed without anxiety.

Henry David Thoreau

Men, Anxiety, Enemy

Public opinion is a weak tyrant compared with our own private opinion.

Henry David Thoreau

Confidence, Tyrants, Anxiety

Henry David Thoreau (2016). “Walden”, p.8, Xist Publishing

I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself than be crowded on a velvet cushion. I would rather ride on earth in an ox cart, with a free circulation, than go to heaven in the fancy car of an excursion train and breathe a malaria all the way.

Henry David Thoreau

Fancy Cars, Anxiety, Heaven

Henry David Thoreau (1882). “Walden”, p.60

No man ever stood the lower in my estimation for having a patch in his clothes: yet I am sure that there is greater anxiety, commonly, to have fashionable, or at least clean and unpatched clothes, than to have a sound conscience.

Henry David Thoreau

Men, Clothes, Anxiety

Henry David Thoreau (2015). “Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience: Top American Literary”, p.13, 谷月社

The incessant anxiety and strain of some is a well-nigh incurable form of disease. We are made to exaggerate the importance of what we do; and yet how much is not done by us!

Henry David Thoreau

Anxiety, Done, Disease

Henry David Thoreau (2012). “The Portable Thoreau”, p.159, Penguin

Perhaps anxious politicians may prove that only seventeen white men and five negroes were concerned in the late enterprise; but their very anxiety to prove this might suggest to themselves that all is not told. Why do they still dodge the truth? They are so anxious because of a dim consciousness of the fact, which they do not distinctly face, that at least a million of the free inhabitants of the United States would have rejoiced if it had succeeded. They at most only criticise the tactics.

Henry David Thoreau

Men, White, Anxiety
