Citations de Henry David Thoreau

En anglais : " 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."

En anglais : "You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this."

En anglais : "The only remedy for love is to love more."

En anglais : "This world is but a canvas to our imagination." (A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers)

En anglais : "A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone."

En anglais : "I think that I cannot preserve my health and spirits, unless I spend four hours a day at least — and it is commonly more than that — sauntering through the woods and over the hills and fields, absolutely free from all worldly engagements."

En anglais : "Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison."

En anglais : "It is not enough to be busy. So are the ants. The question is : What are we busy about?"

En anglais : "It is never too late to give up our prejudices. No way of thinking or doing, however ancient, can be trusted without proof. What everybody echoes or in silence passes by as true today may turn out to be falsehood tomorrow, mere smoke of opinion, which some had trusted for a cloud that would sprinkle fertilizing rain on their fields."

En anglais : "As if you could kill time without injuring eternity. "

Autre traduction : "Comme si on pouvait tuer le temps sans blesser l'éternité." ( Série Flash, saison 1, épisode 7 )
