More quotes 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.
John Muir
All the world was before me and every day was a holiday, so it did not seem important to which one of the world's wildernesses I first should wander.
John Muir
I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness.
John Muir
But to gain a perfect view, one must go yet further, over a curving brow to a slight shelf on the extreme brink.
John Muir
Imagination is usually regarded as a synonym for the unreal. Yet is true imagination healthful and real, no more likely to mislead than the coarse senses. Indeed, the power of imagination makes us infinite.
John Muir
We all flow from one fountain.
John Muir
Tug on anything in nature and you will find it connected to everything else.
John Muir
In the beauty and grandeur of individual trees, and in number and variety of species, the Sierra forests surpass all others
John Muir
Wander a whole summer if you can. Time will not be taken from the sum of life. Instead of shortening, it will definitely lengthen it and make you truly immortal.
John Muir
The clearest way into the Universe is through a forest wilderness.
John Muir
The moon is looking down into the canyon, and how marvelously the great rocks kindle to her light! Every dome, and brow, and swelling boss touched by her white rays, glows as if lighted with snow.
John Muir
All wilderness seems to be full of tricks and plans to drive and draw us up into God's light.
John Muir
Anyhow we never know where we must go, nor what guides we are to get - -people,storms, guardian angels, or sheep.
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
A lifetime is so little a time that we die before we get ready to live. I should like to study at a college, but then I have to say to myself: You will die before you can do anything else.
John Muir
Man and other civilized animals are the only creatures that ever become dirty.
John Muir
I wonder if leaves feel lonely when they see their neighbors falling?
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John Muir
The world, we are told, was made especially for man - a presumption not supported by all the facts... Why should man value himself as more than a small part of the one great unit of creation?
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.
