Nature can offer you the biggest gifts only if you are ready to accept.

About This Quote

Thoreau was known for his refusal to accept any gifts that came to him, his books, his fame, or anything else. He said that the gifts of nature weren’t meant to be gloated over or used for personal benefit. They were meant to be enjoyed by all the people who lived in the world, not just one person. He said, “I wish I could go away into the woods and live on berries and nuts and wild animals.” However, while Thoreau made a lot of money from writing Walden, he never wrote a book about the simple life he imagined living in the woods.
