Comparatively, 515 23| hear of a convention to be held at Baltimore, or elsewhere, 516 36| these presents, that I, Henry Thoreau, do not wish to 517 8| O'er the grave where our hero we buried."~ ~ 518 34| poor. Christ answered the Herodians according to their condition. " 519 9| as God. A very few - as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers 520 62| which it may utter, or any heroism it may inspire. Our legislators 521 | herself 522 10| I am too high-born to be propertied,~ ~ 523 47| never declined paying the highway tax, because I am as desirous 524 4| in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against 525 45| field, on one of our highest hills, two miles off, and then 526 37| out again without let or hindrance, and they were really all 527 35| sure to go again.

Yet such as these 538 60| of his mind's range and hospitality. Yet, compared with the 539 62| talent for comparatively humble questions of taxation and 540 61| there with reverence and humility; but they who behold where 541 50| You do not resist cold and hunger, the winds and the waves, 542 6| corse to the rampart we hurried;~ ~ 543 27| and resist before it is hurt? Why does it not encourage 544 2| its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they 545 50| mean well, they are only ignorant; they would do better if 546 50| men, without heat, without ill will, without personal feeling 547 34| use money which has the image of Caesar on it, and which 548 59| thought-free, fancy-free, imagination-free, that which is not never 549 63| State, which also I have imagined, but not yet anywhere seen.~ ~ 550 63| accordingly. I please myself with imagining a State at least which can 551 23| respectable man, so called, has immediately drifted from his position, 552 24| its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, as it were, 553 33| a man's real manhood and immortality flow out, and he bleeds 554 45| huckleberry party, who were impatient to put themselves under 555 32| without a ruder and more impetuous thought or speech corresponding 556 21| than the many. It is not so important that many should be as good 557 2| can be imposed on, even impose on themselves, for their 558 2| successfully men can be imposed on, even impose on themselves, 559 35| This is hard. This makes it impossible for a man to live honestly, 560 34| I have contemplated the imprisonment of the offender, rather 561 33| Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place 562 63| do so well - is still an impure one: to be strictly just, 563 50| and not of mere brute or inanimate things, I see that appeal 564 24| contemplations too. See what gross inconsistency is tolerated. I have heard 565 63| even would not think it inconsistent with its own repose if a 566 17| or changed without public inconveniency, it is the will of God... 567 17| according to Paley, would be inconvenient. But he that would save 568 36| regarded as a member of any incorporated society which I have not 569 34| are called the "means" are increased. The best thing a man can 570 2| if they were not made of india-rubber, would never manage to bounce 571 33| prisoner on parole, and the Indian come to plead the wrongs 572 24| first blush of sin comes its indifference; and from immoral it becomes, 573 22| will be because they are indifferent to slavery, or because there 574 24| their allegiance, and so indirectly, at least, by their money, 575 32| posture of affairs, the indispensablest mode of treating with it 576 23| Does not America offer any inducement for men to settle here? 577 37| not but smile to see how industriously they locked the door on 578 54| Our love or industry from doing it honor,~ ~ 579 16| when its tyranny or its inefficiency are great and unendurable. 580 38| the one does not remain inert to make way for the other, 581 1| governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have 582 60| of social duties might be inferred? "The manner," says he, " 583 60| and have no doubt invented ingenious and even useful systems, 584 42| began to comprehend what its inhabitants were about.~ ~ 585 2| not educate.

Our legislators have not 589 60| the intellect - what, for instance, it behooves a man to do 590 50| appeal is possible, first and instantaneously, from them to the Maker 591 | instead 592 12| Or useful serving-man and instrument~ ~ 593 23| by the aid of the Mutual Insurance company, which has promised 594 24| out to help put down an insurrection of the slaves, or to march 595 2| instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality 596 38| confronts a man's sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, 597 23| is it to any independent, intelligent, and respectable man what 598 9| serve the devil, without intending it, as God. A very few - 599 38| Thus the State never intentionally confronts a man's sense, 600 2| and not partly by their intentions, they would deserve to be 601 21| farmers here, who are more interested in commerce and agriculture 602 39| in prison was novel and interesting enough. The prisoners in 603 48| let their private feelings interfere with the public good.~ ~ 604 44| of prison - for some one interfered, and paid that tax - I did 605 59| reformers cannot fatally interrupt him.~ ~ 606 39| apartments. My room-mate was introduced to me by the jailer as " 607 16| our own, but ours is the invading army.~ ~ 608 60| discrimination, and have no doubt invented ingenious and even useful 609 34| rich man - not to make any invidious comparison - is always sold 610 42| in the streets. I was an involuntary spectator and auditor of 611 33| minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole 612 47| It is for no particular item in the tax-bill that I refuse 613 9| standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, 614 45| had returned from a long journey. I was put into jail as 615 9| exercise whatever of the judgment or of the moral sense; but 616 32| say is our mission, Reform keeps many scores of newspapers 617 30| to treat with the utmost kindness and consideration the only 618 60| to the study of these or kindred subjects content me as little 619 42| was done and said in the kitchen of the adjacent village 620 50| would do better if they knew how: why give your neighbors 621 42| Rhine stream, and visions of knights and castles passed before 622 26| not rest satisfied with knowing that you are cheated, or 623 34| obliged to earn it by special labor with their hands. If there 624 23| gregariousness, and a manifest lack of intellect and cheerful 625 4| reminiscence of humanity, a man laid out alive and standing, 626 61| comes trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their 627 41| left me to blow out the lamp.~ ~ 628 51| conforming to the laws of the land. I am but too ready to conform 629 21| prices-current along with the latest advices from Mexico, after 630 | latter 631 23| and, before yet he has lawfully donned the virile garb, 632 60| wisdom, but prudence. The lawyer's truth is not Truth, but 633 9| legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders - 634 43| and said that I should lay that up for lunch or dinner. 635 60| defensive ones. He is not a leader, but a follower. His leaders 636 60| leader, but a follower. His leaders are the men of '87 - "I 637 21| somewhere; for that will leaven the whole lump. There are 638 34| things which are God's" - leaving them no wiser than before 639 60| thinkers, and those who legislate for all time, he never once 640 62| written; yet where is the legislator who has wisdom and practical 641 29| any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which 642 49| his guard in such a case, lest his action be biased by 643 2| men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, 644 9| they put themselves on a level with wood and earth and 645 60| relations, and behold it as it lies absolutely to be disposed 646 60| myself; but those whose lives are by profession devoted 647 39| Come, boys, it is time to lock up"; and so they dispersed, 648 61| that pool, gird up their loins once more, and continue 649 37| that it was timid as a lone woman with her silver spoons, 650 40| principal business would be to look out the window. I had soon 651 45| thus salute me, but first looked at me, and then at one another, 652 17| life, in such a case, shall lose it. This people must cease 653 2| posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It 654 58| fellow-countrymen. Seen from a lower point of view, the Constitution, 655 43| I should lay that up for lunch or dinner. Soon after he 656 27| excommunicate Copernicus and Luther, and pronounce Washington 657 36| subscription. I did not see why the lyceum should not present its tax-bill, 658 4| small movable forts and magazines, at the service of some 659 35| whatever they may say about the magnitude and seriousness of the question, 660 9| the state thus, not as men mainly, but as machines, with their 661 44| superstitions, as the Chinamen and Malays are; that in their sacrifices 662 2| india-rubber, would never manage to bounce over the obstacles 663 39| hang my hat, and how he managed matters there. The rooms 664 33| this wound a man's real manhood and immortality flow out, 665 32| well-disposed man, or as a maniac and disturber of the peace, 666 23| of gregariousness, and a manifest lack of intellect and cheerful 667 60| might be inferred? "The manner," says he, "in which the 668 9| wooden men can perhaps be manufactured that will serve the purpose 669 62| and finance, commerce and manufactures and agriculture. If we were 670 24| insurrection of the slaves, or to march to Mexico; - see if I would 671 4| Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such a man as an American 672 9| few - as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the great 673 21| because the few are not materially wiser or better than the 674 24| homage to and support our own meanness. After the first blush of 675 25| disapprove of the character and measures of a government, yield to 676 63| live aloof from it, not meddling with it, nor embraced by 677 37| they locked the door on my meditations, which followed them out 678 32| situated as I am necessarily meets it; and it then says distinctly, 679 21| but a hundred thousand merchants and farmers here, who are 680 22| not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to 681 36| Some years ago, the State met me in behalf of the Church, 682 42| village in the light of the Middle Ages, and our Concord was 683 45| soon tackled - was in the midst of a huckleberry field, 684 | might 685 16| foreign army, and subjected to military law, I think that it is 686 9| the standing army, and the militia, jailers, constables, posse 687 60| reveal the limits of his mind's range and hospitality. 688 9| legislators, politicians, lawyers, ministers, and office-holders - serve 689 2| and punished with those mischievous persons who put obstructions 690 35| principles of reason, poverty and misery are subjects of shame; if 691 32| about it: that we say is our mission, Reform keeps many scores 692 48| they pay the tax from a mistaken interest in the individual 693 59| thoughts on it. It is not many moments that I live under a government, 694 39| were whitewashed once a month; and this one, at least, 695 39| had been there some three months waiting for his trial to 696 | Moreover 697 37| great waste of stone and mortar. I felt as if I alone of 698 1| I heartily accept the motto, "That government is best 699 62| speaker has not yet opened his mouth to speak who is capable 700 4| they?

They only can force me 704 47| till it buys a man or a musket to shoot one with - the 705 50| to be, then, like a good Mussulman and fatalist, I should endeavor 706 23| live only by the aid of the Mutual Insurance company, which 707 60| institution, never distinctly and nakedly behold it. They speak of 708 24| he disregards and sets at naught; as if the state were penitent 709 4| man in power? Visit the Navy-Yard, and behold a marine, such 710 39| furnished, and probably the neatest apartment in the town. He 711 50| submit to a thousand similar necessities. You do not put your head 712 43| out to work at haying in a neighboring field, whither he went every 713 32| this obstruction to his neighborliness without a ruder and more 714 | neither 715 | nevertheless 716 32| Reform keeps many scores of newspapers in its service, but not 717 | next 718 | ninety 719 21| There are nine hundred and ninety-nine patrons of virtue to one 720 3| those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at once 721 43| and would not be back till noon; so he bade me good-day, 722 5| was heard, not a funeral note,~ ~ 723 60| compact - let it stand." Notwithstanding his special acuteness and 724 39| The night in prison was novel and interesting enough. 725 | nowhere 726 17| established government be obeyed - and no longer. This principle 727 1| sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought 728 34| comes between a man and his objects, and obtains them for him; 729 43| hole in the door, in small oblong-square tin pans, made to fit, and 730 44| hoped, by a certain outward observance and a few prayers, and by 731 44| on the common, such as he observed who went in a youth and 732 49| his action be biased by obstinacy or an undue regard for the 733 50| winds and the waves, thus obstinately; you quietly submit to a 734 32| if he can get over this obstruction to his neighborliness without 735 2| mischievous persons who put obstructions on the railroads.~ ~ 736 3| will be one step toward obtaining it.~ ~ 737 34| man and his objects, and obtains them for him; and it was 738 40| the history of the various occupants of that room; for I found 739 40| He occupied one window, and I the other; 740 23| American has dwindled into an Odd Fellow-one who may be known 741 28| its authority was the only offence never contemplated by government; 742 34| the imprisonment of the offender, rather than the seizure 743 23| Hardly one. Does not America offer any inducement for men to 744 9| lawyers, ministers, and office-holders - serve the state chiefly 745 42| They were the voices of old burghers that I heard in 746 60| given by him but defensive ones. He is not a leader, but 747 42| we slept with the windows open, which were inside the grating. 748 62| the speaker has not yet opened his mouth to speak who is 749 49| an undue regard for the opinions of men. Let him see that 750 21| Practically speaking, the opponents to a reform in Massachusetts 751 34| from under his feet. The opportunities of living are diminished 752 21| thousands who are in opinion opposed to slavery and to the war, 753 16| to have its machine, and oppression and robbery are organized, 754 62| of the world. There are orators, politicians, and eloquent 755 23| by the development of his organ of gregariousness, and a 756 15| recognize that political organization as my government which is 757 16| oppression and robbery are organized, I say, let us not have 758 63| towards recognizing and organizing the rights of man? There 759 60| disturb the arrangement as originally made, by which the various 760 23| support of the widows and orphans that may be; who, in short, 761 50| but I cannot expect, like Orpheus, to change the nature of 762 | otherwise 763 | ours 764 1| their tool; for, in the outset, the people would not have 765 38| can, till one, perchance, overshadows and destroys the other. 766 50| expose yourself to this overwhelming brute force? You do not 767 4| marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart. They have 768 43| small oblong-square tin pans, made to fit, and holding 769 33| whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. 770 32| all, with men and not with parchment that I quarrel - and he 771 52| affect our country as our parents,~ ~ 772 33| the Mexican prisoner on parole, and the Indian come to 773 14| but he who gives himself partially to them is pronounced a 774 34| wont to appear exorbitant, particularly if they are obliged to earn 775 45| shoe, joined a huckleberry party, who were impatient to put 776 23| his back which you cannot pass your hand through! Our statistics 777 42| visions of knights and castles passed before me. They were the 778 44| straight though useless path from time to time, to save 779 25| reproach to which the virtue of patriotism is commonly liable, the 780 9| A very few - as heroes, patriots, martyrs, reformers in the 781 21| hundred and ninety-nine patrons of virtue to one virtuous 782 47| I have never declined paying the highway tax, because 783 32| maniac and disturber of the peace, and see if he can get over 784 33| fact, the definition of a peaceable revolution, if any such 785 4| concerned; they are all peaceably inclined. Now, what are 786 35| up an estate at home by peaceful enterprise, I can afford 787 42| before. This is one of its peculiar institutions; for it is 788 24| naught; as if the state were penitent to that degree that it differed 789 34| said he; - and one took a penny out of his pocket; - if 790 26| Action from principle, the perception and the performance of right, 791 63| the way for a still more perfect and glorious State, which 792 26| the perception and the performance of right, changes things 793 50| should do as they do, or permit others to suffer much greater 794 50| without ill will, without personal feeling of any kind, demand 795 27| to wait until they have persuaded the majority to alter them. 796 1| liable to be abused and perverted before the people can act 797 14| pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.~ ~ 798 63| individual. Even the Chinese philosopher was wise enough to regard 799 38| honesty, but with superior physical strength. I was not born 800 4| minority, but because they are physically the strongest. But a government 801 61| more, and continue their pilgrimage toward its fountain-head.~ ~ 802 43| made to fit, and holding a pint of chocolate, with brown 803 39| when drunk, and smoked his pipe there; and so a barn was 804 37| remaining respect for it, and pitied it.~ ~ 805 28| discretion of those who placed him there; but if he should 806 33| ground, where the State places those who are not with her, 807 37| townsmen had paid my tax. They plainly did not know how to treat 808 17| have unjustly wrested a plank from a drowning man, I must 809 38| destroys the other. If a plant cannot live according to 810 22| slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong, with 811 33| and the Indian come to plead the wrongs of his race should 812 63| treats him accordingly. I please myself with imagining a 813 34| took a penny out of his pocket; - if you use money which 814 21| with their hands in their pockets, and say that they know 815 60| world is not governed by policy and expediency. Webster 816 37| I have paid no poll-tax for six years. I was put 817 61| trickling into this lake or that pool, gird up their loins once 818 35| in some distant Southern port, where my liberty is endangered, 819 16| commodities brought to its ports, it is most probable that 820 9| militia, jailers, constables, posse comitatus, etc. In most 821 21| easier to deal with the real possessor of a thing than with the 822 16| have their friction; and possibly this does enough good to 823 2| transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing 824 21| and do nothing; who even postpone the question of freedom 825 32| effectual, and, in the present posture of affairs, the indispensablest 826 35| the principles of reason, poverty and misery are subjects 827 4| captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable 828 33| influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the 829 18| In their practice, nations agree with Paley; 830 44| outward observance and a few prayers, and by walking in a particular 831 36| support of a clergyman whose preaching my father attended, but 832 44| distinct race from me by their prejudices and superstitions, as the 833 63| fast as it ripened, would prepare the way for a still more 834 23| selection of a candidate for the Presidency, made up chiefly of editors, 835 25| the requisitions of the President. Why do they not dissolve 836 39| turn how he came there, presuming him to be an honest man, 837 36| must adhere to its original presumption that time. If I had known 838 51| the people, to discover a pretext for conformity.~ ~ 839 25| The broadest and most prevalent error requires the most 840 48| to save his property, or prevent his going to jail, it is 841 21| over them both. What is the price-current of an honest man and patriot 842 21| trade, and quietly read the prices-current along with the latest advices 843 40| one stayed there long, his principal business would be to look 844 40| composed, which are afterward printed in a circular form, but 845 4| colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, 846 17| the one side, and of the probability and expense of redressing 847 16| to its ports, it is most probable that I should not make an 848 45| out the next morning, I proceeded to finish my errand, and, 849 17| into expediency; and he proceeds to say that "so long as 850 4| steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart. 851 60| as the following, while professing to speak absolutely, and 852 60| compared with the cheap professions of most reformers, and the 853 23| Insurance company, which has promised to bury him decently.~ ~ 854 27| Copernicus and Luther, and pronounce Washington and Franklin 855 14| himself partially to them is pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist.~ ~ 856 33| man is also a prison.

It can have no pure right over my person and 870 50| between resisting this and a purely brute or natural force, 871 61| They who know of no purer sources of truth, who have 872 34| because they who assert the purest right, and consequently 873 23| himself available for any purposes of the demagogue. His vote 874 24| I devote myself to other pursuits and contemplations, I must 875 2| legislators are continually putting in their way; and, if one 876 60| all, practical.
