"Joy in the universe, and keen curiosity about it all – that has been my religion." ― John Burroughs Topic(s): Religion Tags: universe More From John Burroughs "Travel and society polish one, but a rolling stone gathers no moss, and a little moss is a good thing on a man." "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." "I have discovered the secret of happiness – it is work, either with the hands or the head. The moment I have something to do, the draughts are open and my chimney draws, and I am happy." More In Religion "Plenty of people are raised Catholic and then aren’t Catholic anymore, like any religion."― Danny Masterson "Democracy may have arisen in the West as the way of striving for the universal aspiration to dignity and freedom, but it isn’t alien to the underlying concepts that infuse religion and moral philosophy everywhere."― Flora Lewis "From heresy, frenzy and jealousy, good Lord deliver me."― Ludovico Ariosto
