We can outrun the wind and the storm, but we cannot outrun the demon of hurry (John Burroughs Quotes)
Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these (John Burroughs Quotes)
I think rain is as necessary to the mind as to vegetation. My very thoughts become thirsty, and crave the moisture (John Burroughs Quotes)
One can only learn his powers of action by action, and his powers of thought by thinking (John Burroughs Quotes)
If I were to name the three most precious resources of life, I should say books, friends, and nature (John Burroughs Quotes)
