Transcendentalism revolves around the major principle that a person’s knowledge comes through intuition and creative development not through logic or the institutionalized education.

                                                Henry David Thoreau

- "Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it."

In this quote I can see that Henry David Thoreau is trying to put across a message of morality. If a man is only doing a job because he needs the money then he's going to do it just till he needs the money. But if someone does a job because they love it then they will continue to do it loyally and with fault, and most important they will be happy.
- "I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours."

This quote for the most part means that if you drop whatever you do not want to do and pursue what you do want to do then you will eventually achieve that goal and it will happen in a shorter time than expected.

                                                                     
                                                                       Ralph Waldo Emerson


- "He who is not everyday conquering some fear has not learned the secret of life."

This quote is simple but it means a lot. It means that if you do not push yourself everyday to go and experience something new and to test your limits then you are wasting time.

- "Men love to wonder, and that is the seed of science."

This quote means one very important thing. It means that if man was not curious the man would never get to where he is now the all of the technological advancements.
