More quotes by John Muir
Nature had gathered her choicest treasures , to draw her lovers into close and confiding communion with her
John Muir
Every hidden cell is throbbing with music and life, every fiber thrilling like harp strings.
John Muir
To ask me whether I could endure to live without friends is absurd. It is easy enough to live out of material sight of friends, but to live without human love is impossible.
John Muir
No wonder the hills and groves were God's first temples, and the more they are cut down and hewn into cathedrals and churches, the farther off and dimmer seems the Lord himself.
John Muir
I have enjoyed the trees & scenery of KY exceedingly. How shall I ever tell of the miles & miles of beauty that have been flowing into me in such measure?
John Muir
Books are but stepping stones to show you where other minds have been.
John Muir
Let children walk with Nature, let them see the beautiful blendings and communions of death and life, their joyous inseparable unity, as taught in woods and meadows, plains and mountains and streams of our blessed star, and they will learn that death is stingless indeed, and as beautiful as life.
John Muir
Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world.
John Muir
The grand show is eternal It is always sunrise somewhere
John Muir
When we contemplate the whole globe as one great dewdrop, striped and dotted with continents and islands, flying through space with other stars all singing and shining together as one, the whole universe appears as an infinite storm of beauty.
John Muir
The Big Tree is Nature's forest masterpiece, and so far as I know, the greatest of living things.
John Muir
In the eternal youth of Nature, you may renew your own.
John Muir
I always enjoyed the hearty society of a snowstorm.
John Muir
The most distinctive, and perhaps the most impressive, characteristic of American scenery is its wilderness.
John Muir
Any fool can destroy trees. They cannot run away and if they could, they would still be destroyed-chased and hunted down as long as fun or a dollar could be got of their bark hides.
John Muir
One learns that the world, though made, is yet being made that this is still the morning of creation that mountains long conceived are now being born, channels traced for coming rivers, basins hollowed for lakes.
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 vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls.
John Muir
See how God writes history. No technical knowledge is required only a calm day and a calm mind.
John Muir
Every atom in creation may be said to be acquainted with and married to every other, but with universal union there is a division sufficient in degree for the purposes of the most intense individuality.
John Muir
Go quietly alone, no harm will befall you.
John Muir
