Henry David Thoreau Innocence Quotations

Through our own recovered innocence we discern the innocence of our neighbors.

Men are as innocent as the morning to the unsuspicious.

To the innocent there are neither cherubim nor angels.

So near along life's stream are the fountains of innocence and youth making fertile its sandy margin; and the voyageur will do well to replenish his vessels often at these uncontaminated sources.

Birds do not sing in caves, nor do doves cherish their innocence in dovecots.
