I think that what went wrong with religion is the same thing that went wrong with politics. Is that it became too money based and too controlling. It is just a weakness that we human beings have for control, we want one thing and then we want more and then we want more. ~Dave Davies

Our thoughts really do create our lives. They've done a lot of research showing if you're an optimistic, positive person you will be a healthier person than if you're a sad, depressed, negative person. ~Alana Stewart

In what bold relief stand out the lives of all walkers of the snow! The snow is a great tell-tale, and blabs as effectually as it obliterates. I go into the woods, and know all that has happened. I cross the fields, and if only a mouse has visited his neighbor, the fact is chronicled. ~John Burroughs
#quotes #john-burroughs #snow
