Unless young people immediately engage in the practice of life, how can they have a better way to learn life. ——Thoreau "Walden"

3. A person may disappear without a trace in his politeness. ——Thoreau

4. Absolutely speaking, the more wealth, the less virtue. ——Thoreau

5. No house in the world is perfect. The Parthenon, St. Peter's Basilica, Gothic cathedrals, luxurious mansions, and thatched cottages are all just imperfect implementations of an imperfect idea. Who would want to live in it? Perhaps, in the eyes of the gods, the cottage is more sacred than the Parthenon. ——Thoreau's "A Journey"

6. We cannot live without sin, which is our gateway to virtue. ——Thoreau's "Diary"

7. Although I am not richest in the world, I have countless sunny days and summers. ——Thoreau

By closing their eyes, being entranced, and allowing themselves to be deceived by their shadows, human beings have established the routines and habits of their daily lives and followed them everywhere, although they are actually based on pure fantasy. ——Thoreau "Walden"

10. Long ago I lost a hound, a sorrel horse, and a turtledove, and I am still tracking them. To many travelers I described their condition, their tracks, and the calls they responded to. I have met one or two people who have heard the barking of hounds, the sound of galloping horses, and even seen turtle doves disappearing into the clouds. ——Thoreau "Walden"
