This boxed set of 6 note cards contains one of each of the six woodcuts crafted by noted illustrator Michael McCurdy, balanced with quotes from Henry Thoreau, as well as 6 envelopes. The note cards are also available individually. The quotes are:
"I learned this, at least, by my experiment; that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." (Walden)
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." (Walden)
"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away." (Walden)
"If you have built castles in the air, your work need not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them." (Walden)
"Live in each season as it passes; breathe the air, drink the drink, taste the fruit, and resign yourself to the influences of each." ("Huckleberries")
"Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. .... Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders." ("The Succession of Forest Trees")
