Quote by Henry David Thoreau

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.

Time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.

Summary

This quote by American writer Henry David Thoreau suggests that time is like a flowing stream in which we immerse ourselves to engage in various activities, much like fishing. It implies that time is not linear or fixed, but instead dynamic and ever-moving. Thoreau may be highlighting the fleeting nature of time and the need to fully seize each moment, just as a fisherman does when catching fish in a swiftly flowing stream. This quote encourages us to embrace the passage of time and actively participate in the present rather than resisting or trying to control it.

No sooner is your ocean filled, than he grumbles that it might have been of better vintage. Try him with half of a Universe, of an Omnipotence, he sets to quarrelling with the proprietor of the other half, and declares himself the most maltreated of men. Always there is a black spot in our sunshine: it is even as I said, the Shadow of Ourselves.
