Quotes |
They can conquer who believe they can. He
has not learned the first lesson in life who does
not every day surmount a fear. The days come and go
like muffled and veiled figures sent from a distant
friendly party, but they say nothing, and if we do
not use the gifts they bring, they carry them as
silently away.

The
Thoreau Society
Founded in 1941
Thoreau
Biographical essay by Ralph Waldo Emerson,
Atlantic Monthly, August 1862 --
Emerson's Thoreau in two parts:
Part 1 -
Part 2
-Emerson
was a major influence and mentor for Thoreau; it was
Emerson who loaned Henry a pond side property for the
two year experiment that resulted in Walden.
But as Thoreau grew, Emerson appears to not to have
fully appreciated what was happening. He writes that
"I cannot help counting it a fault in him that he had
no ambition." -- apparently missing completely the
enormity and originality of Thoreau's ambitions.
