Quotes by John Burroughs
- Every power of both heaven and earth is friendly to a noble and courageous activity.
- Minorities lead and save the world, and the world knows them not till long afterwards.
- Now, there is no preservative and antiseptic, nothing that keeps one's heart young, like love, like sympathy, like giving one's self with enthusiasm to some worthy thing or cause.
- There is no short cut. For anything worth having one must pay the price, and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice — no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service.
