More quotes by John Burroughs
In the order of nature we may behold the ways of the Eternal.
John Burroughs
Look underfoot. You are always nearer to the true sources of your power than you think. The lure of the distant and the difficult is deceptive. The great opportunity is where you are. Don't despise your own place and hour. Every place is the center of the world.
John Burroughs
Time does not become sacred to us until we have lived it.
John Burroughs
How readily the bluebirds become our friends and neighbors when we offer them suitable nesting retreats!
John Burroughs
How much there is in books that one does not want to know, that it would be a mere weariness and burden to the spirit to know.
John Burroughs
The bluebird enjoys the preeminence of being the first bit of color that cheers our northern landscape. The other birds that arrive about the same time--the sparrow, the robin, the phoebe-bird--are clad in neutral tints, gray, brown, or russet but the bluebird brings one of the primary hues and the divinest of them all.
John Burroughs
Nature comes home to one most when one is at home. The stranger and traveler finds her a stranger and traveler also.
John Burroughs
I think rain is as necessary to the mind as to vegetation. My very thoughts become thirsty, and crave the moisture.
John Burroughs
....success in walking is not to let your right foot know what your left foot doeth. Your heart must furnish such music that in keeping time to it your feet will carry you around the globe without knowing it.
John Burroughs
I still find each day too short.
John Burroughs
The honey-bee's great ambition is to be rich, to lay up great stores, to possess the sweet of every flower that blooms. She is more than provident. Enough will not satisfy her, she must have all she can get by hook or crook.
John Burroughs
Then, again, how annoying to be told it is only five miles to the next place when it is really eight or ten!
John Burroughs
The Kingdom of Heaven is not a place, but a state of mind.
John Burroughs
I want nothing less than a faith founded upon a rock, faith in the constitution of things. The various man-made creeds are fictitious, like the constellations Orion, Cassiopeia’s Chair, the Big Dipper the only thing real in them is the stars, and the only thing real in the creeds is the soul’s aspiration toward the Infinite.
John Burroughs
Science has done more for the development of western civilization in one hundred years than Christianity did in eighteen hundred years.
John Burroughs
The five original nuclear weapon states I mentioned - U.S., Britain, France, China, and Russia - under the NPT have committed to the achievement of the elimination of their nuclear arsenals through good faith negotiations of nuclear disarmament - that's Article Six of the treaty.
John Burroughs
Without death and decay, how could life go on?
John Burroughs
The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood.
John Burroughs
Unfortunately, nuclear weapons have become identified with state power.
John Burroughs
It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative.
John Burroughs
