Find a Quote of John Burroughs

-I go to nature to be soothed and healed, and to have my senses put in order.

-I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see.

-Nature teaches more than she preaches. There are no sermons in stones. It is easier to get a spark out of a stone than a moral.

-To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life.

-To me - old age is always ten years older than I am.
