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 suggests that time is not a limited resource, but rather a boundless stream in which one can immerse themselves, much like someone fishing in a river. It highlights the idea that time is not something to be wasted or worried about, but rather an opportunity for exploration and growth. By viewing time as a vast stream, the quote encourages embracing the present moment and making the most of it, rather than being fixated on the constraints or anxieties associated with the passing of time.
