Do What You Love


Do what you love. Know your own bone;
gnaw at it, bury it, unearth it, and gnaw it still.

-Henry David Thoreau

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. - Henry David Thoreau

Unfortunately for us, Thoreau lived in a time when doing what one loves was still possible. Seems most of us these days just have a job...

"Yes I am a pirate, 200 years too late.
The cannons don't thunder, there's nothing to plunder, I'm an over 40 victim of fate.
Arriving too late, arriving too late...."

You sure that wasn't from Henry David Barkley? Seems more up his alley!

Thoreau made a lot of good quotes - when he wasn't busy flaunting his education.
