Ask Jimmy the primary message of Walden One Less Accountant : "Thoreau and Emerson saved me from spending a large chunk of my life as an accountant. Walden had the approximate effect of a 2 x 4 thwacking me between the eyes." A contemporary review... "The economical details and calculations in this book are more curious than useful; for the author's life in the woods was on too narrow a scale to find imitators. But ... he says so many pithy and brilliant things, and offers so many piquant, and, we may add, so many just, comments on society as it is, that this book is well worth the reading, both for its actual contents and its suggestive capacity." - A.P. Peabody

Extractions: "If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." "The man who goes alone can start today; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready." "Distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes." "In the long run, men only hit what they aim at." "Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it." "We should distrust any enterprise that requires new clothes." "Fame is not just. She never finely or discriminatingly praises, but coarsely hurrahs." "A man cannot be said to succeed in this life who does not satisfy one friend." "To be a philosopher is not merely to have subtle thoughts; but so to love wisdom as to live according to its dictates." "Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it." "Time is but the stream I go a fishing in." "I would rather sit on a pumpkin and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion."

Extractions: Ecology Hall of Fame Thoreau Biography Extracts ... Web Links Thoreau earned his place in history and in The Ecology Hall of Fame on July 4, 1845, when he moved to Walden Pond, "to live deliberately." Over the past century and a half, millions have read his musings on his life there and been inspired. That day defined his life. His time at Walden, slightly over two years, demonstrated the natural harmony that was possible when a thinking man went to live simply, reading books, writing in his diary, cultivating his beans, and walking in the woods. The message that comes through most clearly from the pages of Walden is that this is, itself, a "Hero's journey." During his life, Thoreau was little known outside his small social and intellectual circle. Yet his reputation as a prophet for ecological thought and the value of wilderness, born at Walden, now grows with each passing year. He articulated the idea that humans are part of nature and that we function best, as individuals and societies, when we are concious of that fact.

http://www.blupete.com/Literature/Biographies/Literary/Thoreau.htm

Extractions: Thoreau was born of French and Scottish stock at Concord, Massachusetts. He grew up in a conservative environment of genteel poverty. He was educated at Harvard, and started out as a teacher; but, it not suiting him, Thoreau turned from it to the family business of making lead pencils and serving as a general handy man for the community. Believing that his tax money should not be used promoting programs that he had no belief in, in 1843, Thoreau was arrested for not paying his poll tax; and, for this act of civil disobedience, he spent a night in jail (he was quite prepared to spend a lot more time for his principles, but he was chagrined to find out that one of his aunts had paid his tax bill for him). If the government (Massachusetts had just voted to return runaway slaves), "requires you to be the agent of injustice to another, then, I say, break the law ... What I have to do is to see, at any rate, that I do not lend myself to the wrong which I condemn." In 1845 he built a cabin at Walden Pond; he wrote of his experiences there, in his book, Walden. Like his neighbour, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thoreau was a Transcendentalist, one who believes in the "divine sufficiency of the individual." Emerson said of his friend;

http://www.americanpoems.com/poets/thoreau/

Extractions: Poems by Thoreau Henry David Thoreau was born on July 12, 1817, in Concord, Massachusetts. He was the son of John and Cynthia Thoreau, and the third of four children. Out of his two sisters and a brother, Helen was the oldest sister, John Thoreau Jr. was Henry's older brother and Sophia was the younger sister. The house they were born in belonged to his maternal grandmother and is located on the outskirts of Concord on Virginia Road. Henry was named after his paternal uncle, David Thoreau, who died just six weeks after Henry was born. However, his legal name is not Henry David Thoreau but rather 'David Henry Thoreau'. It wasn't until after Thoreau had graduated from Harvard College that he unilaterally changed his name from David Henry to 'Henry David' Thoreau. Not out of character, he never bothered to petition the state legislature to have his name legally and officially changed. Henry spent the majority of his time walking in and around the town of Concord, although he did make a few journeys to other places. Occasionally he would be found sauntering and conversing with his mentor and friend

Extractions: Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) Contributing Editor: Wendell P. Glick In my experience, an understanding of Thoreau rarely follows the initial exposure to his writings. The appreciation of the profundity and subtlety of his thought comes only after serious study, and only a few of the most committed students are willing to expend the necessary effort. Many, upon first reading him, will conclude: that he was a churlish, negative, antisocial malcontent; or that he advocated that all of us should reject society and go live in the woods; or that each person has complete license to do as he/she pleases, without consideration for the rights of others; or that he is unconscionably doctrinaire. His difficult, allusive prose, moreover, requires too much effort. All such judgments are at best simplistic and at worst, wrong. If an instructor is to succeed with Thoreau, strategies to meet these responses will need to be devised. The best, in my opinion, is to spend the time explicating to students key sentences and paragraphs in class and responding to questions. Above all, students must be given a knowledge of the premises of Romanticism that constitute Thoreau's world view. Major Themes, Historical Perspectives, and Personal Issues

Extractions: Walking Search all of Henry David Thoreau American essayist, poet, and practical philosopher, best-known for his autobiographical story of life in the woods, WALDEN (1854). Thoreau became one of the leading personalities in New England Transcendentalism. He wrote tirelessly but earned from his books and journalism little. Thoreau's CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE (1849) influenced Gandhi in his passive resistance campaigns, Martin Luther King, Jr., and at one time the politics of the British Labour Party. Henry David Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts, which was center of his life, although he spent several years in his childhood in the neighboring towns and later elsewhere. Thoreau studied at Concord Academy (1828-33), and at Harvard University, graduating in 1837. He was teacher in Canton, Massachusetts (1835-36), and at Center School (1837), resigning after two weeks. In 1835 he contracted tuberculosis and suffered from recurring bouts throughout his life.

Extractions: Henry David Thoreau On the Duty of Civil Disobedience [1849, original title: Resistance to Civil Government] But, to speak practically and as a citizen, unlike those who call themselves no-government men, I ask for, not at one no government, but at once a better government. Let every man make known what kind of government would command his respect, and that will be one step toward obtaining it. "Not a drum was heard, not a funeral note, To any sovereign state throughout the world." He who gives himself entirely to his fellow men appears to them useless and selfish; but he who gives himself partially to them in pronounced a benefactor and philanthropist. How does it become a man to behave toward the American government today? I answer, that he cannot without disgrace be associated with it. I cannot for an instant recognize that political organization as my government which is the slave's government also. In their practice, nations agree with Paley; but does anyone think that Massachusetts does exactly what is right at the present crisis?
