                    Walden ou A Vida nos Bosques é uma autobiografia do escritor transcendentalista Henry David Thoreau. A obra é considerada, simultaneamente, como uma declaração de independência pessoal, uma experiência social, uma viagem de descoberta espiritual e um manual para a autossuficiência.
“O tempo não passa de um riacho em que vou pescar.”
                                        
                                        Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.

“Toda a geração ridiculariza a moda antiga, mas segue religiosamente a nova.”
                                        
                                        Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new

“Em vez de amor, de dinheiro, de fama, me dê a verdade”
                                        
                                        "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth"

                                        If you have built castles in the air, your work  need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them.

                                        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.

Walden
                                    
                                        
                                        that if  one advances  confidently  in the direction  of his dreams, and endeavors  to live  the life  which he has  imagined, he will meet with a success  unexpected  in common  hours. 
Walden, Chapter XVIII (1854) 
Walden
                                    
                                        
                                        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. In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify.

“A bondade é o único investimento que sempre compensa.”
                                        
                                        Goodness is the only investment that never fails

“Sob um governo que prende injustamente, o lugar de um homem justo é também na cadeia”
                                        
                                        Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison

                                        It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do.  To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts.

“O que mais encoraja é a capacidade humana de elevar sua vida por meio do esforço consciente.”
                                        
                                        I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by a conscious endeavor.
