Naturalist quotes
" It is always easier to believe than to deny. Our minds are naturally affirmative. "

John Burroughs
" Life is a struggle, but not a warfare. "

John Burroughs
" The lesson which life repeats and constantly enforces is 'look under foot.' You are always nearer the divine and the true sources of your power than you think. "

John Burroughs
" The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense his life. . . . The beautiful vagabonds, endowed with every grace, masters of all climes, and knowing no bounds -- how many human aspirations are realised in their free, holiday-lives -- and how many suggestions to the poet in their flight and song! "

John Burroughs
" The tendinous part of the mind, so to speak, is more developed in winter; the fleshy, in summer. I should say winter had given the bone and sinew to literature, summer the tissues and the blood. "

John Burroughs
" Deceivers are the most dangerous members of society. They trifle with the best affections of our nature, and violate the most sacred obligations. "

George Crabbe
" In science, the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to whom the idea first occurs. "

Francis Darwin
" A man who dares to waste one hour of time has not discovered the value of life. "

Charles Darwin
" A scientific man ought to have no wishes, no affections, - a mere heart of stone. "

Charles Darwin
" Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal. "

Charles Darwin
" False facts are highly injurious to the progress of science, for they often endure long; but false views, if supported by some evidence, do little harm, for every one takes a salutary pleasure in proving their falseness. "

Charles Darwin
" I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions. "

Charles Darwin
" I cannot persuade myself that a beneficent and omnipotent God would have designedly created parasitic wasps with the express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of Caterpillars. "

Charles Darwin
" If the misery of the poor be caused not by the laws of nature, but by our institutions, great is our sin. "

Charles Darwin
" Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. "

Charles Darwin
