More quotes by John Burroughs

Image
The poor old earth which has mothered us and nursed us we treat with scant respect. Our awe and veneration we reserve for the worlds we know not of. Our senses sell us out. The mud on our shoes disenchants us.
John Burroughs
Image
We cannot walk through life on mountain peaks.
John Burroughs
Image
Some men are like nails, very easily drawn others however are more like rivets never drawn at all.
John Burroughs
Image
One is tempted to say that the most human plants, after all, are the weeds.
John Burroughs
Image
The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.
John Burroughs
Image
Nature exists for man no more than she does for monkeys, and is as regardless of his life or pleasure or success as she is of the fleas. Her waves will drown him, her fire burn him, and her earth devour him, her storms and lightning smite him, as if he were only a dog.
John Burroughs
Image
I think rain is as necessary to the mind as to vegetation. My very thoughts become thirsty, and crave the moisture.
John Burroughs
Image
The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think.
John Burroughs
Image

Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all - that has been my religion.
John Burroughs
Image
The thing that I focus on because I don't think it gets enough attention is that among the world's major powers, there is still a nuclear balance of terror - I'm talking about between the United States and Russia, the United States and China.

How readily the bluebirds become our friends and neighbors when we offer them suitable nesting retreats!
John Burroughs
Image
Blessed is the man who has some congenial work, some occupation in which he can put his heart, and which affords a complete outlet to all the forces there are in him.
John Burroughs
Image
All sounds are sharper in winter the air transmits better. At night I hear more distinctly the steady roar of the North Mountain. In summer it is a sort of complacent purr, as the breezes stroke down its sides but in winter always the same low, sullen growl.
John Burroughs
Image
We've been in a period of relative stability and cooperation since the end of the Cold War among the world's major powers, but that may not always exist. And certainly one could even predict that there will be periods of hostility or tension ahead.

Image
The floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche.

The overall quantity of nuclear weapons in the world continues to decline slowly.
