"I seldom go into a natural history museum without feeling as if I were attending a funeral" — John Burroughs

While one finds company in himself and his pursuits, he cannot feel old, no matter what his years may be

I dislike feeling at home when I am abroad

Nobody can bring you peace but yourself.

I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel

Without feelings of respect, what is there to distinguish men from beasts?

Faith is the bird that feels the light when the dawn is still dark
