Thoreau’s Guide to Life

Quit Your Job “Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined. As you simplify your life, the laws of the the universe will be simpler.” “But men labor under a mistake… It is a fool’s life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before.”

Move to the Woods “I lived alone, in the woods, a mile from any neighbor, in a house which I had built myself, on the shore of Walden Pond.”

The Four Necessities  Food  Shelter  Clothing  Fuel “Man’s body is a stove, and food the fuel which keep the internal combustion in the lungs.”

Keep it Cheap  Stay out of debt  $0.27 a week for food  $6.24 today

Learn by Doing  “I mean that they should not play life or study it merely while the community supports them in this expensive game, but earnestly live it from beginning to end.”

Do Nothing  “Few phenomena gave me more delight than to observe the forms which thawing sand and clay assume in flowing down the sides of a deep cut on the railroad.”  “I have a great deal of company in this house, especially in the morning when nobody calls.”

Finding Life Within Yourself  Find the beauty in the nature  Connect with God  Find happiness in simplicity  Reject society “In short, I am convinced, both by faith and experience, that to maintain one’s self on this earth is not a hardship but a pastime, if we live simply and wisely; as the pursuits of the simpler nations are the sports of the more artificial.”

“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 which he hears, however measured or far away.” -Henry David Thoreau
