Famous Quotes & Sayings

Henry David Thoreau

A goal is a dream taken seriously.

Henry David Thoreau

The heroes and discoverers have found true more than was previously believed, only when they were expecting and dreaming of something more than their contemporaries dreamed of, or even themselves discovered, that is, when they were in a frame of mind fitted to behold the truth. Referred to the world's standard, they are always insane. Even savages have indirectly surmised as much.

Henry David Thoreau
