Walden by Thoreau and Affluenza Epidemic
- 1. ALEXANDRA INGMAN A DAY, APELA 1-29-15 Affluenza Epidemic and Walden by Thoreau
- 2. http://www.worldwidewaldens.org/meet-thoreau/ “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 had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”

- 6. http://onecentatatime.com/how-to-be-happy-in-life-know-your-inner- secrets/ “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb nail.”
- 8. http://michaellambert.zeblog.com/ “A lake is a landscape's most beautiful and expressive feature. It is Earth's eye; looking into which the beholder measures the depth of his own nature.”
- 10. http://higherperspective.com/2014/11/navigate-stars.html “I have, as it were, my own sun and moon and stars, and a little world all to myself.”
- 12. http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM538T_Thoreau_House_a t_Walden_Pond_Walden_Pond_Reservation_Concord_MA “The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor-house. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms- house as brightly as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”
- 14. http://www.wallconvert.com/wallpapers/nature/winter-sunrise- 2456.html “The morning, which is the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour. Then there is least somnolence in us; and for an hour, at least, some part of us awakes which slumbers all the rest of the day and night... All memorable events, I should say, transpire in morning time and in a morning atmosphere. The Vedas say, “All intelligences awake with the morning.”
- 16. http://tara.aukerman.org/wordpress/category/trips/page/3/ “The surface of the earth is soft and impressible by the feet of men; and so with the paths which the mind travels. How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity! I did not wish to take a cabin passage, but rather to go before the mast and on the deck of the world, for there I could best see the moonlight amid the mountains.”
- 18. http://www.carefulcents.com/april-progress-report/ “A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener. So our prospects brighten on the influx of better thoughts. We should be blessed if we lived in the present always, and took advantage of every accident that befell us, like the grass which confesses the influence of the slightest dew that falls on it; and did not spend our time in atoning for the neglect of past opportunities, which we call doing our duty. We loiter in winter while it is already spring.”

Who knows but if men constructed their dwellings with their own hands, and provided food for themselves and families simply and honestly enough, the poetic faculty would be universally developed, as birds universally sing when they are so engaged? But alas! we do like cowbirds and cuckoos, which lay their eggs in nests which other birds have built, and cheer no traveller with their chattering and unmusical notes. Shall we forever resign the pleasure of construction to the carpenter?”
- 22. http://ivyleagueinsecurities.com/2009/12/sweet-sunday-solitude/ “But men labor under a mistake. The better part of the man is soon plowed into the soil for compost. By a seeming fate, commonly called necessity, they are employed, as it says in an old book, laying up treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves break through and steal. It is a fool's life, as they will find when they get to the end of it, if not before.”
- 24. http://kristencallahan.umwblogs.org/2011/04/23/biodiversity-final- thoughts-and-fun-earth-day-activities/ “However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault- finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is.”
