“The question is not what you look at, but what you see” H.D. Thoreau

I think it means when you look at something don’t judge it by the look of it. “Don’t just a book by the cover.” I think a lot of people do that, like if they see someone for the first time if they think that person is ugly they won’t even be friends or talk to that person. When they get to know that person it might turn out they were wrong about them.

"Friends...they cherish one another's hopes. They are kind to one another's dreams." H.D. Thoreau

I think this quote goes with me and my personality because I don't have love and the care that I want from my family so I prefer to share my love with my friends. My mom and my sister are the people I most love. They have time, but they never have time to share or show me love.

All of my friends tell me it doesn't matter if my relatives love me because they love me and can give me love without asking them. They say maybe it won't be the same kind of love that Iwant but they can give it to me because I am a nice girl and I act mature. But deep, deep inside of me there is a big space of sadness and suffering. The good thing is that I have friends that can replace that space that is full of sadness and suffering.

"Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant."
H.D. Thoreau

I think he means don't judge a person's life if you don't know what they've been through because you have to walk in their shoes to really know how it is to be them and how difficult it is. Sometimes people see others complaining about their lives and they say " Why are you complaining if you have a perfect life." Maybe that person doesn't like to talk about their life or show their emotions so you can't notice that this person has problems. You need to be them to know, you need to walk in their shoes to know what it is like to be them.

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a drifferent drummer. Let him step to his music which he hears, however measured or far away." H.D. Thoreau

Different people have different tastes. Do not judge people by their taste. And one who tastes differently, just do not give any kind of attention or judge. Just taste it, let it fly and you'll find yourself.

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined" H.D. Thoreau

I really like this quote, it just really shows reality in it. This quote to me means that we all need to go confidently and straight in the right path of our dreams. We can never let someone change and make us go in the wrong direction, by making us feel that we are not capable to accomplish our goals. We need to show those kind of people that we are capable in everything, we just need to work hard to make it happen. We have the power to make our dreams come true, we just have to listen to our heart and do what it is asking us to do. Our heart is the only one who knows what path we need to take.

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." H.D. Thoreau

This quotation means to go in the direction of your dreams trusting in yourself. Live and do the things that make you feel happy, make things happen that you dream about no matter how hard you have to work, believe in yourself. I've been trying to go confidently in the direction of my dreams since I was a child.

Eventhough life is like an ocean, with waves that try to take away dreams, I am the rock on the sand. The waves may pull the sand, but the rock stays firm. Sometimes the waves cause a lot of pain, but they cannot kill a rock. Be there strong, moving each day a little bit the way you've imagined, and one day that rock might be a mountain and the ocean will be under its feet.

Inspirational quote

"Do not worry if you have built your castles in the air. They are where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." H.D. Thoreau

It is not wrong to put all our dreams in the air and try to build many dreams at the same time because they have to be there to give us motivation to try to make them reality and defeat all the struggles. We have to create the base or strategy to do it. We have the think that our dreams are the goals of our life. I know there are many things against us but that is a bet that life does to make us persevere or to let us know how much capacity we have and how optimistic we are inside. The principle thing is to believe in yourself.

Love is valueless

Love doesn't cost a thing. If someone wants to have love they need to pay and sacrafice a lot. Love appears everywhere on the Earth: in relationships, friendships, nature, human beings, and souls. Everyone has love, but somehow some people don't know how to show love.
