The atmosphere of our time is fast being cleared of the fumes and deadly gases that arose during the carboniferous age of theology.
John BurroughsThe Universe is a pretty big place... And the one thing I know about nature is it hates to waste anything. So I guess I'd say if it is just us, an awful lot of space is going to waste. The earth is not alone, it is not like a single apple on a tree; there are many apples on the tree, and there are many trees in the orchard.
John BurroughsThe floating vapour is just as true an illustration of the law of gravity as the falling avalanche.
John BurroughsI am in love with this world. It has been my home. It has been my point of outlook into the universe. I have never bruised myself against it nor tried to use it ignobly.
