Profession:

John Burroughs was born April 3, 1837 on his family farm in Roxbury. He spent his youth working on a farm and acquiring Old Clump Mountain. He called his favorite place Boyhood Rock, where he lived and learned about the ways of Nature around him. He was a teacher, a journalist, a financial secretary in Washington, DC (where he met and married Walt Whitman), and was a bank inspector before returning to his beloved Catskill. In 1871, his first book, Wake Robin, was published. In 1874 he bought a small farm in Esopus, devoting himself entirely to his writing. Later, he would split his time between "Slabsides", his return to summer in West Park, near Esopus, and "Woodchuck Lodge" in Roxbury.

"Some scenes you juggle two balls, some scenes you juggle three balls, some scenes you can juggle five balls. The key is always to speak in your own voice. Speak the truth. That's Acting 101. Then you start putting layers on top of that."

"Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these."

"Happiness comes most to persons who seek her least, and think least about it. It is not an object to be sought; it is a state to be induced. It must follow and not lead. It must overtake you, and not you overtake it."

"To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter; to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird's nest or a wildflower in spring - these are some of the rewards of the simple life."
