I have great faith in fools; self-confidence my friends call it.
To die is nothing, but to live defeated and without glory is to die every day.
I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life. To put to rout all that was not life. And not, when I had come to die, discover that I had not lived.
I'm not perfect, but I'm perfectly me.

You have to be ready to suffer and enjoy suffering.
