Famous quotes by Henry David Thoreau:

"The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer."

"If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

"When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest."

"A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting."

"Thaw with her gentle persuasion is more powerful than Thor with his hammer. The one melts, the other breaks into pieces."

"Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer."

"Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them."

"I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

"A broad margin of leisure is as beautiful in a man's life as in a book. Haste makes waste, no less in life than in housekeeping. Keep the time, observe the hours of the universe, not of the cars."

"Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?"

"Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves."

"Every creature is better alive than dead, men and moose and pine trees, and he who understands it aright will rather preserve its life than destroy it."

"Things do not change; we change."

"Being is the great explainer."

"This world is but a canvas to our imagination."

"The law will never make a man free; it is men who have got to make the law free."

"Be true to your work, your word, and your friend."

"Dreams are the touchstones of our character."

"The man who is dissatisfied with himself, what can he do?"

"I am sorry to think that you do not get a man's most effective criticism until you provoke him. Severe truth is expressed with some bitterness."

Henry David Thoreau: Sei nicht einfach gut - sei gut für etwas!

Duration: 1:55
Updated: 24 Jul 2014

"Tue das, worin Du gut bist" oder "Folge Deinen Talenten". Diese und ähnliche Botschaften hören wir zuhauf. Und tatsächlich macht es Spaß, seine Talente und Neigungen ausleben zu können. Vor allem, wenn man diese Talente und Neigungen auch beruflich einbringen kann, also sein Geld damit verdient. Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Sie gut sind, bei dem was Sie tun, wenn Sie es gerne tun, ist dramatisch höher, als wenn Sie einfach nur einen Job machen - keine Frage. Allerdings werden Sie schnell feststellen, dass etwas Wesentliches fehlt, wenn Sie sich einfach nur auf das Tun und den damit verbundenen Spaßfaktor fokussieren. Sei nicht einfach gut - sei gut für etwas - dieser Spruch von Henry-David Thoreau trifft es ziemlich genau. Richtige Erfüllung finden wir in unserem Tun, wenn wir unsere Talente und Neigungen für die Arbeit an einem größeren Ganzen einbringen können. Wenn wir damit unser Bedürfnis ausleben können, einen Beitrag zu leisten - "von Nutzen zu sein", dann erst wird die Sache richtig rund. Was könnte das bei Ihnen sein? Was liegt Ihnen am Herzen und wie können Sie Ihre Talente und Neigungen dafür einsetzen? Viel Erfolg dabei … ;-)

THOREAU AND EINSTEIN: Science & The Cosmic Order

Duration: 42:41
Updated: 22 Jul 2014

Theatrical Reading: By Connie Baxter Marlow. Performed at The Thoreau Society Annual Gathering July 9, 2014. This is a scholarly piece consisting entirely of original quotations. Thoreau is played by Richard Smith, Thoreau interpreter/impersonator and Einstein is played by Andrew Cameron Bailey, filmmaker/author. Filmed by Peter Benjamin of Performance Video. Brighton, MA Connie Baxter Marlow, talk show host of "Mystics, Alive and Well" interviews Henry David Thoreau and Dr. Albert Einstein for the second time with a theatrical reading: "Thoreau and Einstein: Science and the Cosmic Order." She explores the two legendary men's views on humanity's understanding of the nature of reality. July 2013 Marlow brought Mr. Thoreau and Dr. Einstein together for the first time in history at the Thoreau Annual Gathering to discuss how mystical experiences had informed their lives and led them to be societal change agents of their times in her show "Thoreau and Einstein: Two Mystics Who Changed the World." Marlow has been bringing the mystical aspects of Thoreau to light since 2004 when she produced a film series "THE AMERICAN EVOLUTION: Voices of America" featuring Thoreau, Native American elders, a Muslim Imam and others. Her first theatrical production "Thoreau the Futurist and the Emerging Human" featuring Thoreau and his Indian guide and hero Joseph Polis premiered at the Thoreau Society Annual Gathering in 2011.
