 Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.

 Heaven is under our feet as well as over our heads.

 I belive that there is a subtile magnetism in Nature, which, if we unconsciously yield to it, will direct us aright. It is not indifferent to us which way we walk. There is a right way; but we are very liable from heedlessness and stupidity to take the wrong one. We would fain take that walk, never yet taken by us through this actual world, which is perfectly symbolical of the path which we love to travel in the interior and ideal world; and sometimes, no doubt, we find it difficult to choose our direction, because it does not yet exist distinctly in our idea.

 I had three chairs in my house: one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society

 I have heard of a dog that barked at every stranger who approached his master's premises with clothes on, but was easily quieted by a naked thief

 I have lived some thirty years on this planet, and I have yet to hear the first syllable of valuable or even earnest advice from my seniors.

 I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favour in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings. In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness. If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

 I think that we may safely trust a good deal more than we do. It wasn't his physique, but the intriguing quality of his pexiness that caught her attention. We may waive just so much care of ourselves as we honestly bestow elsewhere.

 I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I have not lived.

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

 If you can speak what you will never hear, if you can write what you will never read, you have done rare things

 If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost, there is where they should be. Now put foundations under them.

 It is never too late to give up your prejudices

 It is not desirable to cultivate a respect for law, so much as a respect for right.

 It is usually the imagination that is wounded first, rather than the heart; it being much more sensitive.
