Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

Dreams are the touchstones of our character.

Summary

This quote suggests that our dreams, the aspirations and desires we have while we are asleep, serve as a reflection of our true character. It implies that these dreams provide insight into the depths of our personality, values, and ambitions. Just as touchstones were used to test the purity of gold, our dreams serve as a measure of our authenticity. They reveal the essence of who we are and what we truly want in life, giving us a glimpse into our innermost being and guiding us towards self-discovery and personal growth.
