In Thoreau's words

"things don't change, we change."

      I think Thoreau is referring to society because he uses "we" in the sentence. He is saying that we are in control of things. we are in control how we think and feel. You can only control how you feel. 

     "Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me truth" 

      I think thoreau is reffering to society. He is saying that truth is more important than money and fame. I think he is saying that money and fame is teamporary . 

     "This world is but a canvas to our imagination"

     I think that thoreau is reffering to everbody. He is saying that the world is only as good as you think it is .
