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,
As his corse to the rampart we hurried; Not a soldier discharged his farewell shot
O'er the grave where out hero was buried." "I am too high born to be propertied,
To be a second at control,
Or useful serving-man and instrument
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?

HENRY DAVID THOREAU
"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." W ith these words Henry David Thoreau declared the purpose of his Walden experiment, the two years he spent in the Concord woods testing his belief in the ability of man to transcend his senses and attain a higher understanding of life. By the shores of Walden Pond where Thoreau lived from the land, he meditated, wrote poetry, and developed a philosophy of pacifism and a reverence for all living things that profoundly influenced 19th and 20th century thought. A rendering of Thoreau's cabin as it stood by Walden Pond from 1845-1847. Concord-born poet, philosopher, naturalist, essayist and educator, Thoreau represents one of the most authentic and individualist voices in all American thought. "No truer American ever lived," wrote Emerson of his friend. Thoreau was graduated from Harvard in 1837 and returned to his hometown in search of an occupation. Befriended by Emerson, who appreciated his purity and originality of thought and deed, Thoreau gave his first lecture before the Concord Lyceum in 1838, embarked with his brother John in 1839 on his first fluvial excursion along the Concord and Merrimack Rivers, gathering material for his later book, and published poetry and essayis in THE DIAL in 1840-1842.

    Thoreau, Henry David (Henry David Thoreau)
    Posted April 14th, 2006 by Taran In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.
    Henry David Thoreau

    Any fool can make a rule, and any fool will mind it.
    Henry David Thoreau

    Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.
    Henry David Thoreau

    I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestioned ability of a man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor.
    Henry David Thoreau

    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.
    Henry David Thoreau

    Men have become the tools of their tools. Henry David Thoreau What is the use of a house if you haven't got a tolerable planet to put it on? Henry David Thoreau The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. Henry David Thoreau I say beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes. Henry David Thoreau If a man walk in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer; but if he spends his whole day as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making earth bald before her time, he is esteemed an industrious and enterprising citizen. As if a town had no interest in its forests but to cut them

The Henry David Thoreau Foundation attracts and sustains outstanding young leaders in diverse disciplines who will safeguard the environmental welfare of future generations. We support undergraduate students and professors through scholarships and grants to promote more creative action and collective study of environmental issues, with an understanding that local is global. Environmental fields of study cover an incredible array of subjects, which have peppered our Henry David Thoreau Scholars around the world. It is through the exchange of ideas that our Scholars hone their scientific skills of inquiry and apply them to areas of education, medicine, and policy, to name but a few. And it is through immersive experiences that our Scholars better understand environmental problems within a global context. By continuing to celebrate rich cultural differences and the wide spectrum of environmental realities, we begin to fully appreciate that we are all connected by the very same elements that are our environment, that are part of us all.

Democratic Origins and Revolutionary Writers, 1776-1820: Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862)
Index Henry David Thoreau, of French and Scottish descent, was born in Concord and made it his permanent home. From a poor family, like Emerson , he worked his way through Harvard. Throughout his life, he reduced his needs to the simplest level and managed to live on very little money, thus maintaining his independence. In essence, he made living his career. A nonconformist, he attempted to live his life at all times according to his rigorous principles. This attempt was the subject of many of his writings. Thoreau's masterpiece, Walden , or Life in the Woods (1854), is the result of two years, two months, and two days (from 1845 to 1847) he spent living in a cabin he built at Walden Pond on property owned by Emerson. In Walden , Thoreau consciously shapes this time into one year, and the book is carefully constructed so the seasons are subtly evoked in order. The book also is organized so that the simplest earthly concerns come first (in the section called "Economy," he describes the expenses of building a cabin); by the ending, the book has progressed to meditations on the stars.

Thoreau was born in Concord, Massachusetts. He graduated from Harvard University. From 1841-1843, Thoreau lived in the house of Ralph Waldo Emerson and was introduced to the philosophy known as transcendentalism. In 1845, Thoreau moved to a hut on Walden Pond, just outside of Concord. There, he spent most of his time observing nature and medititating. He supported himself with odd jobs around the area, such as gardening and carpentry. Emerson joined him there from 1847-1848. Only two of Thoreau's works were published during his lifetime, A Week on the Concord and Merrimack Rivers (1849) and Walden ;or, Life in the Woods Walden , his most important work, chronicles Thoreau's meditations on non-materialism and reverence for nature. In "Civil Disobedience"(1849), Thoreau explained why he chose to go to jail instead of paying a poll tax which supported the Mexican War. This method of protest was later taken up by such peaceful revolutionaries as Mahandas Gandhi and by Martin Luther King, Jr. Other collections of Thoreau's writing were only published after his death. They include

Classroom Issues and Strategies
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.
