Quote by -John Muir
Here I could stay tethered forever with just bread and water, nor would I be lonely; loved friends and neighbors, as love for everything increased, would seem all the nearer however many the miles and mountains between us.
Quote by -John Muir
Any glimpse into the life of an animal quickens our own and makes it so much the larger and better in every way.
Quote by -John Muir
Wherever we go in the mountains, or indeed in any of God’s wild fields, we find more than we seek.”
Quote by -John Muir
At the touch of this divine light, the mountains seemed to kindle to a rapt, religious consciousness, and stood hushed like devout worshippers waiting to be blessed.
Quote by -John Muir
Another glorious day, the air as delicious to the lungs as nectar to the tongue; indeed the body seems one palate, and tingles equally throughout.”
Quote by -John Muir
Fortunately wrong cannot last. Soon or late it must fall back home to Hades, while some compensating good must surely follow.”
Quote by -John Muir
This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor ever rising
Quote by -John Muir
Only by going alone in silence, without baggage, can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness. All other travel is mere dust and hotels and baggage and chatter.
Quote by -John Muir
The world, we are told, was made especially for man – a presumption not supported by all the facts. A numerous class of men are painfully astonished whenever they find anything, living or dead, in all God’s universe, which they cannot eat or render in some way what they call useful to themselves.
Quote by -John Muir
Every natural object is a conductor of divinity and only by coming into contact with them… may we be filled with the Holy Ghost
Quote by -John Muir
It is easier to feel than to realize, or in any way explain, Yosemite grandeur. The magnitudes of the rocks and trees and streams are so delicately harmonized, they are mostly hidden
Quote by -John Muir
“I bade adieu to mechanical inventions, determined to devote the rest of my life to the study of the inventions of God
Quote by -John Muir
I ran home in the moonlight with long, firm strides; for the sun-love made me strong
Quote by -John Muir
Most people who travel look only at what they are directed to look at. Great is the power of the guidebook maker, however ignorant
Quote by -John Muir
In all my wild mountaineering, I have enjoyed only one avalanche ride; and the start was so sudden, and the end came so soon, I thought but little of the danger that goes with this sort of travel, though one thinks fast at such times
Quote by -John Muir
I only went out for a walk and finally concluded to stay out till sundown, for going out, I found, was really going in.
Quote by -John Muir
How terribly downright must be the utterances of storms and earthquakes to those accustomed to the soft hypocrisies of society.”
Quote by -John Muir
Man seems to be the only animal whose food soils him, making necessary much washing and shield-like bibs and napkins. Moles living in the earth and eating slimy worms are yet as clean as seals or fishes, whose lives are one perpetual wash.
Quote by -John Muir
I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness. Heaven knows that John the Baptist was not more eager to get all his fellow sinners into the Jordan than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God’s mountains.
Quote by -John Muir
Rocks and waters, etc., are words of God, and so are men. We all flow from one fountain Soul. All are expressions of one Love.
Quote by -John Muir
Thousands of tired, nerve-shaken, over-civilised people are beginning to find out that going to the mountains is going home; that wildness is a necessity; and that mountain parks and reservations are useful not only as fountains of timber and irrigating rivers, but as fountains of life.
Quote by -John Muir
This grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapour is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
Quote by -John Muir
One of the best ways to see tree flowers is to climb one of the tallest trees and to get into close, tingling touch with them, and then look broad.
Quote by -John Muir
The mountains are fountains of men as well as of rivers, of glaciers, of fertile soil. The great poets, philosophers, prophets, able men whose thoughts and deeds have moved the world, have come down from the mountains – mountain dwellers who have grown strong there with the forest trees in Nature’s workshops.”
Quote by -John Muir
From the dust of the earth, from the common elementary fund, the Creator has made Homo sapiens. From the same material he has made every other creature, however noxious and insignificant to us. They are earth-born companions and our fellow mortals.
Quote by -John Muir
Few places in this world are more dangerous than home. Fear not, therefore, to try the mountain passes. They will kill care, save you from deadly apathy, set you free, and call forth every faculty into vigorous, enthusiastic action.”
Quote by -John Muir
Raindrops blossom brilliantly in the rainbow, and change to flowers in the sod, but snow comes in full flower direct from the dark, frozen sky.
Quote by -John Muir
One can make a day of any size and regulate the rising and setting of his own sun and the brightness of its shining.
Quote by -John Muir
How narrow we selfish conceited creatures are in our sympathies! How blind to the rights of all the rest of creation!
Quote by -John Muir
Wilderness is a necessity… there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls
