John Burroughs híres idézetei

„A távoli és nehéz dolgok csábítása megtévesztő. A nagy lehetőség ott van, ahol te vagy.”

John Burroughs

„A legkisebb tett is jobb, mint a legnagyobb szándék.”

John Burroughs

„A bölcsesség nem jöhet vasúton, autóval vagy repülővel, és nem siethet felénk távirattal vagy telefonnal.”

John Burroughs

John Burroughs: Idézetek angolul

“Science has fairly turned us out of our comfortable little anthropomorphic notion of things into the great out-of-doors of the universe. We must and will get used to the chill, yea, to the cosmic chill, if need be. Our religious instincts will be all the hardier for it.”

Time and Change, p. 2 (1912)

“Theology passes; religion, as a sentiment or feeling of awe and reverence in the presence of the vastness and mystery of the universe, remains.”

Preface
The Light of Day (1900)

“Man’s craving for the supernatural is as natural as our discounting of the present moment… The natural becomes trite and commonplace to us and we take refuge in an imaginary world above and beyond it.”

“The old theology had few if any fast colors, and it has become very faded and worn under the fierce light and intense activity of our day. Let it go; it is outgrown and outworn. What mankind will finally clothe themselves with to protect them from the chill of the great void, or whether or not they will clothe themselves at all, but become toughened and indifferent, is more than I can pretend to say. For my part, the longer I live the less I feel the need of any sort of theological belief, and the more I am content to let unseen powers go on their way with me and mine without question or distrust. They brought me here, and I have found it well to be here; in due time they will take me hence, and I have no doubt that will be well for me too.”

Forrás: The Light of Day (1900), Ch. X: Religious Truth

“Hence when the man of science says, 'There is no God,' he only gives voice to the feeling of the inadequacy of the old anthropomorphic conception, in the presence of the astounding facts of the universe.”

Forrás: The Light of Day (1900), Ch. XI: Points of View

“Science kills credulity and superstition, but to the well-balanced mind it enhances the feeling of wonder, of veneration, and of kinship which we feel in the presence of the miraculous universe.”

Forrás: Accepting the Universe (1920), p.108

“From the first the progress of man has been slowly but surely from the artificial to the natural, from the arbitrary and chimerical to the simple and scientific. Getting himself and his affairs more and more into natural currents and following them, this is the way man has progressed.”
