Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within you, opening new channels, not of trade, but of thought. Every man is the lord of a realm beside which the earthly empire of the Czar is but a petty state, a hummock left by the ice.

Nay, be a Columbus to whole new continents and worlds within

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea of expanding one's mind and exploring new realms of thinking. It encourages individuals to be like Columbus, discovering new territories within themselves, not just limited to external trade. It highlights the vast potential of the human mind and posits that each person possesses an inner world that exceeds the earthly empires ruled by powerful figures. By exploring these inner realms, one can tap into a wealth of profound thoughts and ideas, transcending the limitations of the physical world.
