More quotes by John Muir
I always enjoyed the hearty society of a snowstorm.
John Muir
Wilderness is a necessity... there must be places for human beings to satisfy their souls.
John Muir
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
John Muir
I know that our bodies were made to thrive only in pure air, and the scenes in which pure air is found.
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
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
No words will ever describe the exquisite beauty and charm of this mountain park – Nature’s landscape garden at once tenderly beautiful and sublime. No wonder it draws nature-lovers from all over the world.
John Muir
I never saw a discontented tree.
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.
John Muir
Hiking. I don't like either the word or the thing. People ought to saunter in the mountains...the se mountains are our Holy Land, and we ought to saunter through them reverently, not 'hike' through them.
John Muir
God cannot save them from fools.
John Muir
The world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark.
John Muir
There is a love of wild nature in everybody, an ancient mother-love showing itself whether recognized or no, and however covered by cares and duties
John Muir
God never made an ugly landscape. All that sun shines on is beautiful, so long as it is wild.
John Muir
Man is always and everywhere a blight on the landscape.
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
...therefore all childish fear must be put away.
John Muir
As long as I live, I'll hear waterfalls and birds and winds sing. I'll interpret the rocks, learn the language of flood, storm, and the avalanche. I'll acquaint myself with the glaciers and wild gardens, and get as near the heart of the world as I can.
John Muir
A little pure wildness is the one great present want, both of men and sheep.
John Muir
The forests of America, however slighted by man, must have been a great delight to God for they were the best he ever planted.
John Muir
