Quote

“If you live quietly and simply in a Walden Pond cabin, you can properly suck the true marrow of your real life even without those worldly luxuries, you see.”

Greeting

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately.”
“Give me truth — not love, not money, not fame.”
“The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”

Roll Call

“I have come from the shores of Walden Pond. Ready.”
“Simplify, simplify, simplify.”
“I have come prepared to suck the marrow out of life.”

Deploy

“Advance confidently in the direction of your dreams!”
“Push forward with the strength of the forest!”
“Shed what is not essential and press on!”

Victory

“Find eternity in every moment — that is all.”
“Living deliberately brought unexpected success.”
“Any life is better than no life at all.”

Draw

“However mean your life is, live it and live it fully.”
“Let yourself float on the current.”
“There is no other land. There is only this life.”

Defeat

“Quiet desperation is still desperation, but silence is not compliance.”
“The forest taught me how to endure.”
“Even when the lake freezes, the water flows beneath.”

Strike

“Strike with the force of a single axe!”
“Chop away all but the essential!”
“Break through with the will of civil disobedience!”

Overview

Supreme reflection combined with strong fairness formed the moral philosopher structure that elevated personal practice into a principle of civic resistance. High temperance and diligence made the Walden experiment possible, while strong individualism built a distinct Transcendentalist path that differentiated him from Emerson.
