John Burroughs said this quote

One resolution I have made, and try always to keep, is this: ‘To rise above little things’.

~ John Burroughs

To learn something new, take the path that you took yesterday.

~ John Burroughs

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. The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world.

~ John Burroughs

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.

~ John Burroughs
