Henry David Thoreau Quotes

We all want to be renewed, don't we?

We must always change, renew, rejuvenate ourselves; otherwise, we harden.

I stand before you a changed man. Use me as an example of an instrument of change.

The object of a New Year is not that we should have a new year. It is that we should have a new soul and a new nose; new feet, a new backbone, new ears, and new eyes. Unless a particular man made New Year resolutions, he would make no resolutions. Unless a man starts afresh about things, he will certainly do nothing effective.

I mean, I feel like just a new person completely.

I have always been interested in the idea of self-reinvention.

I believe we are most beautiful when we are constantly shedding our old selves and moving into new light.

When I shaved my hair, my friends asked me to keep it, maybe make my own wig out of it, but I wanted the old hair to go; it was not mine. I wanted to let go.

You must change your life.

Take a (second or third or fourth) chance. Remake the world.

Ignore your previous experience and go into the moment. Be Here Now. See what there is to work with right now in creating yourself anew. Life is an ongoing, never-ending process of re-creation.

I've had so many rebirths, I should come with my own midwife by now.

One must not only die daily, but every day we must be born again.

Die each moment so that you are renewed each moment.

I'm shedding off the old me and I'm reborn as the new me - it's great!

Watch yourself. Every minute we change. It is a great opportunity. At any point, we can step out of our frozen selves and our ideas and begin fresh.

I have to reinvent myself.

In the past few years I have begun the process of becoming a new man.

I'll prove in only seven days that I can make you a new man.

I decided to start anew, to strip away what I had been taught.

I totally changed my life, changed my lifestyle.

I want to always find new ways of reinventing myself.

We all have big changes in our lives that are more or less a second chance.

We all hope for breakthrough rebirth moments.

Statistics vary, but in less than seven years there won't be a single cell left in any of our bodies that's the same as it is today. This means that any human being who 'wants' to change is like a mountain river wanting to reach the valley floor. It's a done deal; that's what mountain rivers do, and 'changing' should be our first nature.
