About This Quote
This quote by Henry David Thoreau is a perfect description of how we can lose sight of progress when we find ourselves back where we started from, as if nothing has changed. In other words, when we get back to our starting point, it’s easy to feel like nothing has changed. It’s hard to believe that anything different could have happened. This is one of the most common feelings in life. Such a feeling can make a person give up on his or her goals and see no reason to keep going forward.
